Better off There

Here I am with a thousand questions

Wondering why it had to be this way

Knowing that your days on Earth were numbered

But wishing God would have let you stay

And though it’s hard to carry on without you

I know without a doubt your dreams are coming true

 

Here we’ve all been crying

But there your tears are drying

Here we’re broken hearted

But there you’re free from care

Here we’ve all been grieving

Where you are there’s healing

No more hurt, and no more pain to bear

Yeah, we all miss you here, but you’re better off there

 

I could not imagine the amazement

As Jesus held your hand and lead you in

Oh, the peace you must’ve felt while walking

Through the gates where time will never end

And though it’s hard to carry on without you

I know that one day Heaven will be my home, too

 

Here we’ve all been crying

But there your tears are drying

Here we’re broken hearted

There you’re free from care

Here we’ve all been grieving

Where you are there’s healing

No more hurt, and no more pain to bear

Yeah, we all miss you here, but you’re better off there

If there was a way to bring you back somehow

I wouldn’t ‘cause I know where you are right now

 

Here we’ve all been crying

But there your tears are drying

Here we’re broken hearted

But there you’re free from care

Here we’ve all been grieving

But where you are there’s healing

No more hurt, and no more pain to bear

Yeah, we all miss you here (we miss you here), but you’re better off there

Yeah, You’re better off there
