Lyrics
When I was a young boy my Dad used to say
"We'll go to heaven and be carried away"
I listened intently the description of old
That we would be walking these streets of gold
The prophets came and foretold
Gates made of pearl
Precious stones a sight to behold
The light comes from the glory of God
Then we walk these streets of gold
These streets of gold.
When I get to heaven I'll look for my Dad
I'll thank him for stories and dreams that we had
Of heaven's rich beauty and those in the fold
And we'll walk together on these streets of gold.
Together on streets of gold.
Together on streets of gold.
