I wanna be there when the lion lays down with the lamb
I wanna be there when an angel comes to marry my old man
I wanna be there when the president is sainted by the pope
I wanna be there in an age that offers more than hope

Every day's a holiday, and I'll be there (I'll be there)
Every song's a song of praise and sung with care (Sung with care, sung with care)
Everyone's your friend 'cause everyone knows only one
I wanna be there when the song is sung
When the song is sung (Doo-wah, doo-wah)
When the song is sung (Doo-wah, doo-wah)

Come to the mountain where the babblin' brook begins to flow
Come to the valley where the rain is gentle and the magic gardens grow
Come to your senses; we'll be leavin' soon because there won't be time to spend
Come to the sunshine where the summer rainbow sings again (Rainbow sings again)

Every day's a holiday, and I'll be there (I'll be there)
Every song's a song of praise and sung with care (Sung with care, sung with care)
Everyone's your friend 'cause everyone knows only one
I wanna be there when the song is sung
I wanna be there
I wanna be there
I wanna be there
I wanna be there
I wanna be there
I wanna be there
I wanna be there
I wanna be there
