On Our Way There

Leaving here,
I get to there.
I think about it:
I’m going somewhere.

Somewhere new.
Somewhere clean.
Somewhere happy.
Somewhere free.

Maybe we will all
Go there some day.
Maybe I will see you
Again and say,

I love you.
I really do.
Let’s be friends.
Let’s walk on through.

All this craziness
All around us
Sometimes feels
Like I’ve missed the bus.

All this violence.
All this dying.
Sometimes makes me
Feel like crying.

But I know that one day
It’s got to end.
One day there will be peace.
We will all be friends.

So, let’s make a toast,
To tomorrow, then!
Let’s celebrate
An end to sin!

Let’s go forth
Feeling free!
Let’s be who
God made us to be!
