Don't You Want to Be There

Don't you want to be there, don't you want to go? Where the light is breaking and the cold clear winds blow Don't you want to be there in the golden glow? Don't you want to be there, don't you want to fly? With your arms out, let a shout take you across the sky Don't you want to be there when the time's gone by? Times, there was love all around you Times, you were strong and alone Times, you believed love had found you And you fell through time like a stone And those you have wronged, you know You need to let them know some way Those who have wronged, you know You'll have to let them go someday Don't you want to be there? Don't you want to cry when you see how far Got to go to be where forgiveness rules Instead of where you are? Don't you want to be there, don't you want to know? Where the grace and simple truth of childhood go Don't you want to be there when the trumpets blow? Blow for those born into hunger Blow for those lost 'neath the train Blow for those choking in anger Blow for those driven insane And those you have wronged, you know You need to let them know some way Those who have wronged, you know You'll have to let them go someday Don't you want to be there? Don't you want to see where the angels appear? Don't you want to be where there's strength and love In the place of fear?
