Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

There's a place where I'm going
A place that's fit for a King
There's a place where I'm going
Where joy defeats suffering
I'm known to have no fear
When this world tries to swallow me
No need to shed those tears
Just turn and follow they

[Chorus:]
Away shall you go
Leave the crying behind
From this world that you know
To a peach that's yours to find
Away shall you go
Like a child in His eyes
To a God that loves you so
To Heaven you will rise

There's a place where I'm going
More than these eyes can see
There's a place where I'm going
That will set my soul free
I'm just passing through this place
A passenger on this bus ride
I'm a victim of His safe embrace
Destination: the other side

[Chorus]

You don't need no money where you're going
You don't need no luggage where you're going
You don't need nothing, nothing
Nothing at all but the love of God
But the love of God
But the love of God

[Chorus]
