Lyrics
A Far, Far Better Place
Marghi Allen
(c) 2003
I was walking through the darknessAnd I put my hand in his hand
And he led me out again
And the darkness it was lifted
When I gazed upon his face
And it was a face I?d known once
In a far, far better place
In my young days
I was a wild thing
And I loved my wicked ways
When I look back and remember
I still love them to this day
There is no way I can change
What brought me to this place
But all was forgiven
When I looked upon his face
Chorus:
There?s a far, far better place
But its ain?t up in the clouds
WHere all soul's will be allowed.
You will get there if you?re honest
You will get there if you are brave
And he?ll put his hand in your hand
In that far, far better place
When I heard him call my name
You can travel
Down the right road
You can travel down the wrong
But in the end
All that matters is if you?ve tried hard to be strong
In the face of al that daunts you
In the face of all that?s grave
You will find your hand in his hand
In a far, far better place
Chorus
We are all we're just travelling
Along life?s rocky way
We can help each other out
Or we can push them all away
It?s you life, you decide
It?s a choice only you can make
But his arms are waiting for you
In that far, far better place.
Chorus
