ANOTHER SEASON
  
  We are getting a little early fall
  So pretty to hear the birds call
  Calling their young and their brothers
  To follow and go where there's sun like no other
  The leafs are beginning to turn and fall out of the trees
  Sounds like they're begging...please come to me
  That's the way I feel too
  Longing for you...Don't you see
  
  If it can  be so beautiful here
  I can only imagine what it's gonna be there
  You've said there'll be no more tears or fears
  But Lord, they're so loud and clear here
  Not only tears of sadness from me
  Tears of joy engulf me
  As I dream and walk for and with You Lord
  Coming down to with Your armour and with Your Sword
  
  You'll move us around and clear the air
  But the good ones of us are going nowhere
  We're gonna have the calm of day
  and the still of night
  We'll be well and everything alright
  
  No one but you can read my lips
  No one but you can wipe tears that drop
  My eyes are longing for You to behold
  I don't know, but I've been told
  With lots of songs, and angels up there
  With flowers  so pretty and streets of gold
  
  I don't want to be selfish, and not share with my friends
  They know not and have no glimpse of the end
  My loved ones for sure, I pray are kept
  and shown Your grace and love in it's entire depth
  You know the way I can clear my mind
  Is talk to You....cause you're true and oh so kind
