Album: The Best of Karen Peck & New River
Verse 1
My momma and daddy talked about going home
Since I was just a babe on their knees
They said that nothing compared
To what was waiting up there
How one day we would finally be free
Well, I've never seen it, but I keep on believing
It will be a place like I've never known
I keep my eyes on the sky
'Cause my soul wants to fly
Lord, my heart is ready to go
Chorus
I want to know how it feels
To make my way down the streets of gold
I want to know how it feels
To have a talk with the saints of old
I want to know what it's like
To rest my feet by the River of Life
I've heard of heaven and I know that it's real
I want to know how it feels
Verse 2
Sometimes I get weary from this life that I live
It seems that peace is something I'll never find
I try to lighten my load
When all that I've got to show
Is seven hundred things on my mind
Well, I'm seeing visions of a crystal clear river
Where sin's forgotten without a trace
More than I've ever dreamed
My eyes long to see
The look of love on my Savior's face
