I told all my troubles goodbye
Goodbye to each tear and each sigh
This world where I roam
Cannot be my home
I'm bound for that land in the sky
I walk and I talk with my lord
I feast every day on his word
Heaven is near
And I can't stay here
Goodbye world goodbye
Now don't you weep for me when I'm gone(Wooooooo)
(Me when I'm gone)
'Cause I won't have to leave here alone(Wooooooo)
(Leave here alone)
And when I hear the last trumpet sound(Wooooooo)
(Last trumpet sound)
My feat won't stay on the ground
I'm gonna rise with a shout gonna fly
I'm gonna ride with my lord through the sky
Heaven is near(Wooooooo)
And I can't stay here(Wooooooo)
Goodbye world goodbye
Well now I won't have the blues anymore
When I step across to that shore
And I'll never pine for I'll leave behind(Ahhhhhhhh)
My heartaches and tears evermore
Well a day maybe two then goodbye
In tomorrow I'll rise up and fly
Heaven is near(Ah)
And I can't stay here(Ah)
Goodbye world goodbye
Now don't you weep for me when I'm gone
'Cause I won't have to leave here alone
And when I hear the last trumpet sound
My feat won't stay on the ground
(On the ground)
I'm gonna rise with a shout gonna fly
I'm gonna ride with my lord through the sky
Heaven is near
And I can't stay here
Goodbye world goodbye world
Goodbye
