Oh I've heard about the streets of gold
Since I was just a kid
Stories that my grandpa told

The truths that he unhid
Preacher man sang a song of love
Our Savior was his pride

And he told of the perfect place
Just beyond the other side


Well there won't be no more sickness
Sorrow, death or pain
The sun will shine forever

No more darkness, no more rain
Glory hallelujah
Will echo through the halls

The other side is waitin'
Should our maker come to call


The other side is perfect
It was made just for a king
At the right hand of Almighty God

The angels start to sing
And the light surrounds Your very soul
The truth You cannot hide

The pearly gates will open
If You reach the other side


The other side is perfect
It was made just for a king
At the right hand of Almighty God

The angels start to sing
And the light surrounds Your very soul
The truth You cannot hide

The pearly gates will open
If when You reach the other side


The wait'l sure be worth it
When You reach the other side
Oh, the other side
