Let me take you to a place 
Where everybody knows your face 
There's no King and there's no Queen 
And everything is like a dream 
You can live in harmony 
With those who were your enemy 
You can do just what you want to 
No one here will ever hurt you
 
There'll be lights and thunder 
There'll be time to wonder 
And there will be no crying 
There'll be light and thunder 
there'll be time to wonder 
And there will be no crying 
There will be no lying 
Yeah there will be no dying 

There won't be a hell below 
And there won't be no god to follow 
No religion, no believing 
No confession, no deceiving 
I will take you up and higher 
Let you see that you believe it
 
There'll be lights and thunder 
there'll be time to wonder 
And there will be no crying 
There will be no lying 
Yeah there will be no dying 

Would you like to live forever 
Family and friends together 
Come inside and see tomorrow 
Where happiness replaces sorrow 

You can live in harmony 
With those who were your enemy 
You can do just what you want to 
No one here will ever hurt you 
I will take you up AND higher 
Let you find what you desire 
Take you to the sky and higher 
Let you see that you believe it 

There'll be lights and thunder
