One day, I'm gonna sail away

I can hardly wait 'til then

Longing for a city

Where rejoicing never ends

Well, maybe I'm impatient

But I want it all right now

I'll start the celebration

All that heaven will allow

While I wait, I'll keep on tryin'

To imagine like I'm already home

When He calls, you'll see me flyin'

To a land beyond the river

Where I'll spend the sweet forever

I'll start to celebrate while I wait

Some people think His coming

Is just our moment to fly

But I've found it's a revelation

I can feel it inside

I'll start the praises flowin'

On my last mile below

It's my special way of showin' Him

I'm ready to go

While I wait, I'll keep on tryin'

To imagine like I'm already home

When He calls, you'll see me flyin'

To a land beyond the river

Where I'll spend the sweet forever

I'll start to celebrate while I wait

While I wait, I'll keep on tryin'

To imagine like I'm already home

When He calls, you'll see me flyin'

To a land beyond the river

Where I'll spend the sweet forever

I'll start to celebrate while I wait

There's a land beyond the river

Where I'll spend the sweet forever, yeah

I will celebrate while I wait, oh, yeah
