Lyrics

The Jordan is waiting for me to cross through
My heart is aging, I can tell
So Lord, I'm begging for one last favor from you
Here's my heart, take it where you will
This life has shown me how we're mended, how we're torn
It's okay to be lonely as long as you're free
Sometimes my ground was stony, sometimes covered up with thorns
And only you could make it what it had to be
And now that it's done
If they dress me like a pauper or if they dined me like a prince
If they lay me with my fathers or my ashes scatter on the wind
I don't care
When I leave, I'm going to go out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire
And when I look back on the stars
It'll be like a candle light in Central Park
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye
There's people been friendly, but they'll never be your friends
Sometimes this has bent me to the ground
But now that this is all ending, I want to hear some music once again
'Cause it's the finest thing that I've ever found
But the Jordan is waiting, as though I ain't ever seen the other side
Still they say you can't take the things you have here
So on this road to salvation, I stick
Out my thumb and he gives me a ride
And his music's already falling on my ears
There's people been talking, they say they're worried about my soul
But I'm here to tell you I'm going to
Keep rocking until it's my time to roll
And when I do
When I leave, I'm going to go out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire
And when I look back on the stars
It'll be like a candle light in Central Park
And it won't break my heart
'Cause when I leave, I'm going to go out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire
And when I look back on the stars
It'll be like a candle light in Central Park
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye
No, it's not going to break my heart to say goodbye
