There was the time there was a place
Way before the human race
Way there in the heavens
In the water called celestial sky
Way before you and I
Way there in the heavens,
On an outside of the everlasting paradise,
Way there in the heavens
Way there in the heavens,
Ohh just before we die
Ohh we will all kiss the eternal sky
Way there in the heavens
God's throne is way there in the heavens
Oh maybe somehow we could reach that eternal paradise,
Way there in the heavens,
Way there in the heavens,
There was the time there was a place
When there was only one race
Way there in the heavens
Angels flew angels sang
Singing about the beautiful grace of God
Way there in the heavens,
As we are learning to fly
Just before we die
Learning to swim
Across an ocean
Into a new realm
A realm of eternal life
Eternal life for you and I,
There was the time there was the place
When there was only one race
Way there in the heavens
Angels flew angels sang
Singing about the beautiful grace of God
Way there in the heavens,
Way there in the heavens
There's a light that shines forever
Way there in the heavens
There's a light that always guides you and I,
There are no more tears for us to cry
We're in paradise frontiers, you and I
Way there in the heavens,
Way there in the heavens
Way there in the heavens
We are in a place
Where we don't need to cry any tears
A place of peaceful rest
For all our eternal years,
Way there in the heavens,
Way there in the heavens.
