I’m taking step by step,
Forming a crystal web.
Everything passed away,
I don’t want to stay
Here, with you.

I know the better world,
The land of joy and gold.
I am closer to them,
I’m singing the anthem
I win, I do.

Closest some of us will ever get to Heaven.
My soul has flown away and it will leaven.
Eternal flame is burning and pointing the way.
I cross the Kingdom’s gate every day.

I’m turning page by page,
Running through the age.
New York City has changed,
I sit on the bench,
But don’t groove.

I move to the beyond.
Take on countenance yond.
I can see the harsh light,
I want to be bright.
I’d like to prove
That

Closest some of us will ever get to Heaven.
My soul has flown away and it will leaven.
Eternal flame is burning and pointing the way.
I cross the Kingdom’s gate every day.
