There
Leonardo Gonçalves Lyrics

Well, I've heard a million times
I have heard these questions and topics brought up countless times in various songs and rhymes.

In many songs and rhymes
These topics regarding the afterlife have been present in many different types of music and poetry.

I've witnessed arguments about how it will be
I have seen many debates and disagreements about what the afterlife will be like.

Will it be every living eye
Will every person be granted the opportunity to see Jesus when he comes again?

To see him coming in the sky
Will the second coming of Jesus be a visible and grand event, seen by all?

And what about the midnight cry, I hear them say
People wonder about the events that will lead up to Jesus' return and how it will be signaled.

Are the streets like I was told
Are the descriptions of the heavenly streets and architecture accurate?

Are they really made of gold
Will the streets in heaven truly be paved with gold?

And will Jerusalem be built where it is now
Is the location of Jerusalem where it will remain in the afterlife?

How can there be a crystal sea
The concept of a crystal sea in heaven can be confusing and difficult to understand.

If the sea has ceased to be
In heaven, what has happened to the oceans and bodies of water that exist on Earth?

All these questions annoy me, I just don't care
The artist is frustrated with the lack of concrete answers and prefers to focus on other aspects of the afterlife.

'Cause I want to be there
Despite the uncertainties, the singer deeply desires to be in heaven.

And sit at my Jesus' feet
The ultimate goal for the singer is to be in the presence of Jesus and worship him.

I know there are things in this life that we can't understand
The singer acknowledges that there will always be mysteries and questions that cannot be fully comprehended in life.

There are moments we tend to forget where we belong
In difficult times, it can be easy to forget that our ultimate home is in heaven with Jesus.

Sure, there's time, yes, there's wealth in that beautiful place
Heaven is often described as a beautiful and abundant location.

But all I want is to see him face to face
Despite the allure of heaven's other perks, the singer's sole desire is to be with Jesus.

I just want to be there
The singer's yearning to be with Jesus is the dominant theme of the entire song.

I just don't care about the crown
The specific rewards or awards in heaven are of no concern to the artist.

Or the color of the gown
Similarly, the superficial characteristics of heaven hold no appeal to the artist.

As long as Jesus is in town I wanna be there
As long as Jesus is present, the artist will be more than fulfilled and satisfied.
