Soon and very soon we are going to see the King,
Oh, soon and very soon we are going to see the King,
Oh, soon and very soon we are going to see the King,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we are going to see the King.
I must have been born driven,
Driven with dreaming, driven with longing,
At least I knew I was living,
Shot through with feeling, real good at running,
I gave a few years to fantasy and a few more to drugs and drinking,
I’ll give what’s left to some honesty, in exchange for wishful thinking.
I hope to see you in the big town,
Don’t lose sight of me ‘til I get there,
See you in the big town,
Keep your light on for me ‘til I get there,
I’m in no hurry now,
I got a pretty good ride, but it’s good to know where I’m bound,
I’ll see you in the big town.
I came to terms with love when I could not escape it and you would not let go,
I know what I’m made of, and it’s hard to face it ‘til I give up control,
And I don’t like to be powerless, hey, but that’s my ticket to freedom, baby,
And there’s a lesson to learn, I guess, lying in the dust of Eden.
See you in the big town,
Don’t lose sight of me ‘til I get there,
See you in the big town,
Keep your light on for me ‘til I get there,
I’m in no hurry now,
I got a pretty good ride, but it’s good to know where I’m bound,
I’ll see you in the big town.
There’s big sky between you and me, but your word is good to the letter,
You sent some joy my way and a little peace, and the promise that it only gets better.
Oh, see you in the…
See you in the big town,
Don’t lose sight of me ‘til I get there,
See you in the big town,
Keep your light on for me ‘til I get there,
I’m in no hurry now,
I got a pretty good ride, but it’s good to know where I’m bound,
I’ll see you in the big town.
