For the last time
I'm gonna cry my tears and
For the last time
I'm gonna feel my feels yeah
For the last time
I'm gonna see my shame
All of that will change
All of that will change
When I leave this world behind
When I leave this world behind, yeah
For the first time
I'm gonna live my life and
For the first time
I'm gonna be alright, yeah
For the first time
I will feel no shame
Everything will change
Everything will change
When I leave this world behind
Don't worry for me
When I leave this world behind
'Cause I'd be in glory
Don't you shed a tear for me
I'll be doing fine
There's a reason
That I'm here today
My heart is longing
For a little prayer
All my tears and all my pain
Will be gone in Jesus name
I'll be free, and I will sing forever
All my tears and all my pain
Will be gone in Jesus name
I'll be free, and I will sing forever
When I leave this world behind
Don't worry for me
When I leave this world behind
'Cause I'd be in glory
When I leave this world
When I leave this world behind
Don't you cry
I'll be doing fine
When I leave this world behind
Oh, when I leave this world behind
When I leave this world behind
