What Will It Be Like

By Merle Haggard

He spoke of a morning and an uncloudy day

With no sorrow and hardship to bear

He said that where I am you also shall stay

What will it be like to be there?

He spoke of a life where we'd never grow old

In a city He's gone to prepare

He said that the streets would be paved with pure gold

What will it be like to be there?

What will it be like to be there?

What will it be like to be there?

Forever and ever in Heaven so fair

What will it be like to be there?

He spoke of a trumpet when the dead would all rise

And we wonder how long it will be

It's written the scales will all fall from our eyes

And the face of the Master we'll see

He spoke of forever where love never dies

And the souls of our loved ones we'll see

Where the demons can't harm us and are met with demise

How beautiful Heaven must be

What will it be like to be there? (Oh, tell me)

What will it be like to be there?

Forever and ever in Heaven so fair

What will it be like to be there? (Be there)
