Not Where We Are Now

There is a place where there are no fears.

We will not die,

There are no tears.

There is a place where there are no fears,

But it's not where we are now.

There is a place where there is no war.

We will live in peace,

In pain no more.

There is a place where there is no war,

But it's not where we are now.

There is a place where we won't get ill.

There will be nothing bad,

No evil will.

There is a place where we won't get ill,

But it's not where we are now.

There is a place where we we won't be hurt.

Our hearts will be whole,

And our minds alert.

There is a place where we won't be hurt,

But it's not where we are now.

Now when we reach that paradise

When the brilliance of God

Daily fills our eyes

When all our troubles

Are but a glimpse

This is what we'll say:

"There was a place where life was hard.

Where things were bad.

Where we were scarred.

There was a place where life was hard,

But it's not where we are now."
