---  2x
 Well hope  is an anchor, and love  is a ship
 Time  is the ocean, and life  is a trip
 You don't  know where you're goin' till you  know where you're at
 And if you  can't read the stars, well you better  have a map
 A compass  and a conscience so you don't  get lost at sea
 Or on  some old lonely island where no one wants to be
 Repeat Intro:
 From the beginning  of creation I think our maker  had a plan
 For us  to leave these shores and sail  beyond the sand
 And let  the good light guide us through the waves  and the wind
 To the beaches  in a world where we  have never been
 And we'll climb  up on the mountain, y'all, we'll let  our voices ring
 And those  who never tried it, they'll be the first to sing
 Repeat Intro
 Oh my,  my
 I'll see you on the other  side,  if I make  it
 And it might be a long  hard ride  but I'm gonna take  it
 Sometimes it seems that I don't have  a prayer
 Let the weather take me an—-y--where
 But I know that I wanna  go where the streets are gold 'cause you'll  be there
 Oh my,  my
 Well you don't bring nothin' with you here and you can't take nothin' back
 I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack
 So I've torn my knees up prayin', scarred my back from fallin' down
 Spent so much time flyin' high till I'm face first in the ground
 So if you're up there watchin' me, would you talk to God and say
 Tell Him I might need a hand to see you both some day...
 Oh my, my
 So I'll see you on the other side, if I make it
 And it might be a long hard ride ,but I wanna take it
 Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer,
 Let the weather take me anywhere,
 But I know that I wanna go where the streets are gold, 'cause you'll be there
 Oh my, my
 'Cause you'll be there
 Oh my, my
 Verse and chorus 2 are same as 1
