I woke this morning to the sound of thunder The smell of freshly fallen rain And in my mind an image lingered Of a place not far away Not far away All too real to have been dreaming Never singing, always known A feeling somehow so familiar In the pure first light of dawn Like going home Like going home Oh! Through an unseen door Passage to on-high Stand amazed at the throne of God City in the sky Home is now revealed No more tears to cry Hear the angels sing His praise City in the sky The sun came streaing through my window A light that would not be denied (would not be denied) And as I lay there I imagined Is this what heaven will be like? Before my eyes Before my eyes Oh! Through an unseen door Passage to on-high Stand amazed at the throne of God City in the sky Home is now revealed No more tears to cry Hear the angels sing His praise City in the sky Time is standing still Heaven in your eyes Up ahead at the pure white lights A City in the sky All sorrow is left behind A glimpse of paradise Love leading the way To a city in the sky
