We just go through the motions,
Pretend to keep the peace,
We could win every award acting in our make-believe,
I thought I’d die when you left me,
I was sure we were meant to be,
I would have held on forever to nothing,
But when you left I got to be free.

I wanna thank you,
For closing the door,
I wanna thank you,
I'm loving me more,
Thank you, thank you.

Your zodiac told you it’s the time to retreat,
Though I don't usually care what the stars say,
This time I have to agree,
Mother Time is a healer but I don't need her today,
I got the antidote right here inside me,
Thank you for going away.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, for setting me free for setting me free.

What do I wanna do?
What do I wanna say?
Where do I wanna go?
I'll do it today.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, for setting me free,
I wanna thank you, for letting me be.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, I wanna thank you.

Got us hatin', feedin' us their lies,
Cash in on division, rake it in that’s right,
Shine on, you're tough, what you hating for,
Shake down in love until we're all gone,
Yeah and if we want it we could have it all.

You gotta lay, lay down your arms,
You gotta lay, lay down your arms,
And so, it's your call.

Got no ticket to leave it all behind, yeah,
Got the spirit in our drunken minds,
Shine on, you're tough, what d’you shake ‘em for,
Shake down in love until we're all gone,
And if we want it we could have it all.

You gotta lay, lay down your arms,
You gotta lay, lay down your arms,
And so, it's your call.

I hear the coming storm,
Wait for the rain to wash us clean and for the sun to keep us warm.

I know that I've done wrong,
I've done my best and repossessed,
And I will rest where I belong.

I've lived a hard life and I've seen a lot,
I've lied and cheated I lost the plot,
Too many tantrums I was so mean,
I'm getting ready,
I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready,
I'm gettin' ready it's time to have peace,
I'm getting ready.

I'm getting ready, I'll be restored,
I'm getting ready for my reward,
I am so ready, I just can't wait,
Hope you are ready, just don't be late.

I can release my soul,
I have made peaceset for my flight up to the light,
No more control, I'm getting ready.

Verse 1

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

While traveling through this world of woe

Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger

In that bright world to which I go.

Chorus

I'm going there to meet my Father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home.

Verse 2

I know dark clouds

Will gather round me

I know my way

Is rough and steep

Yet beautiful fields

Lie just before me

Where god’s redeemed their vigils keep

Chorus

I'm going there to meet my mother

She said she’d meet me

When I come

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home.

I'm only going over home

Yeah yeah yeah hmm

One thing that I’ve learned
This life was made for love
No good on my own
And we need each other

Someone to share
Always be there
And when you’re down and out
Lean on my shoulder
Someone to share
Always be there
And when you’re down and out
We’ll have each other

Alright alright alright
It will be
