They Won't Go When I Go lyrics

No more lying friends

Wanting tragic ends

Though they do pretend

They won't go when I go

All those bleeding hearts

With sorrows to impart

Were right here from the start

And they won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed

To go so long

Away from tears

Gone from painful cries

Away from saddened eyes

Along with him I'll bide

Because they won't go when I go

Big men feeling small

Weak ones standing tall

I will watch them fall

They won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed

To go so long

Away from tears

Unclean minds mislead the pure

The innocent will leave for sure

For them there is a resting place

People sinning just for fun

They will never see the sun

For they can never show their faces

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner

Who will take more than he will give

He ain't hardly gonna give

The greed of man will be

Far away from me

And my soul will be free

They won't go when I go

Since my soul conceived

All that I believe

The kingdom I will see

'Cause they won't go when I go

When I go

Where I'll go

No one can keep me

From my destiny.
