[Verse 1]
Don't you wanna be there, don't you wanna go
Where the light is breaking and the cold clear winds blow?
Don't you wanna be there in the golden glow?

[Verse 2]
Don't you wanna be there, don't you wanna fly
With your arms out, let a shout take you across the sky?
Don't you wanna be there when your time's gone by?

[Pre-Chorus]
Times there was love all around you
Times you were strong and alone
Times you believed love had found you
And you fell through time like a stone

[Chorus]
And those you have wronged, you know
You need to let 'em know some way
Those who have wronged you, know
You'll have to let 'em go someday
Don't you wanna be there? (Be there)
Don't you wanna cry when you see how far
(Cry when you see how far)
You've got to go to be where forgiveness rules
Instead of where you are
[Verse 3]
Don't you wanna be there, don't you wanna know
Where the grace and simple truth of childhood go?
Don't you wanna be there when the trumpets blow?

[Pre-Chorus]
Blow for those born into hunger
Blow for those lost 'neath the train
Blow for those choking in anger
Blow for those driven insane

[Chorus]
And those you have wronged, you know
You need to let 'em know some way
Those who have wronged you, know
You'll have to let 'em go someday
Don't you wanna be there? (Be there, be there)
Don't you wanna see where the angels appear?
Don't you wanna be where there's strength and love
In the place of fear
