Josh Rister - What Waits Over Yonder
Well I slipped into a dream one October evening
I could feel my soul slip through my hands
I tried to hold on tight, you see but curiosity got the best of me
What can I say? I’m just a mortal man
I heard a voice that spoke and spooked me like a ghost
Told me that the clock had just run out
I shrugged and then reclined, and slipped into my mind
I know where my soul’s headed, no need to shout
(Chorus)
I’m headed home to the Beaula land
To see me something grand
Visions that my mind, it cannot ponder
Finally at home
No more traveling alone
When I see what waits over yonder
(Verse 2)
The air got thicker then I felt my head spin
Shaking off the dirt from this old world
Just a moment later, I was in an elevator
And the doors opened up to the seventh floor
I’d describe it all to you, but that’s something I can’t do
It’d take too many words that don’t exist
Never woke up from that dream, but Lord knows I sure ain’t asleep
And I can tell ya', it’s something you won’t wanna' miss
(Chorus)
I’m headed home to the Beaula land
To see me something grand
Visions that my mind, it cannot ponder
Finally at home
No more traveling alone
When I see what waits over yonder
(Chorus)
I’m headed home to the Beaula land
To see me something grand
Visions that my mind, it cannot ponder
Finally at home
No more traveling alone
When I see what waits over yonder
