We have days very long
We have days very hard
We're given up our lives for the sake of the call
And in those times when we thought
We were not gonna make it
We would remind ourselves that our reward is in heaven
We're goin' to a place that is truly blessed
A place where we'll find rest yeah
Prepared for me and you
I'm getting my house in order How about you?
A place that is full of peace
Love it will be over flowing
We'll be there for eternity
I want you there yeah I want you there with me
[Chorus]
Keep your head up he's coming some day to
Carry us away to a better place
Keep your head up he's coming some day to
Carry us away to a better place
We all have times when we're weak and we
Have times when we're strong
We don't always do what's right cause
Sometimes it's easier to do wrong
Well everybody makes mistakes yeah at
Some point in their lives
You know that nobody's perfect
We're all just reaching for the prize
We're goin' to a place that is truly blessed
A place where we'll find rest yeah
Prepared for me and you
I'm getting my house in order How about you?
A place that is full of peace
Love it will be over flowing
We'll be there for eternity
I want you there yeah I want you there with me
[Chorus]
Keep your head up he's coming some day to
Carry us away to a better place
Carry us away to a better place
Carry us away to a better place
Carry us away to a better place
White pearly gates that's where the streets are made with gold
His glory illuminates the heavens
Walls of jasper
We'll live there ever after
We'll seek his face
We'll bow down and cry holy holy holy holy
Keep your head up he's coming some day to
Carry us away to a better place
Carry us away to a better place
Carry us away to a better place
Carry us away to a better place
