My heart can sing
when I pause to remember
a heartache here
is but a steppin' stone
Along a trail
that's windin' always upward
This troubled world
is not my final home
But until then
my heart will go on singin'
Until then with joy I'll carry on
Until the day
my eyes behold the city
Until the day
God calls me home
This weary world
with all its toil and struggle
may take its toll
of misery and strife
The soul of a man
is like a waitin' falcon
When it's released
it's destined for the skies
But until then
my heart will go on singin'
Until then with joy I'll carry on
Until the day
my eyes behold the city
Until the day
God calls me home
But until then
my heart will go on singin'
Until then with joy I'll carry on
Until the day
my eyes behold the city
Until the day
God calls me home
