Everybody dance, everybody shouts
(Oh, everybody, everybody)
Halleluiah, my child is comin' home
(Halleluiah, my child is comin')
(My child is comin' home)
Just an ordinary day in Heaven
Lookin' down the streets of gold
You can hear the strings and the angel wings
See the saints of old
Then suddenly God breaks a smile
And begins His song, "Look my Son is comin' home"
Open up the Pearly Gates of Heaven
Build another mansion next to mine.
Everybody dance and shout for joy around the throne.
Set another place at the table
Sound the trumpet loud and clear this time
Halleluiah, my child is comin' home
Now they say the only time God sings
Is when a lost soul believes
And they say that there's a celebration
There beside the Crystal Sea
And God, Himself, directs the choir and the welcome band
And then He sings out once again
Open up the Pearly Gates of Heaven
Build another mansion next to mine
Everybody dance and shout for joy around the throne
(Around the throne)
Set another place at the table
Sound the trumpet loud and clear this time
Halleluiah, my child is comin' home
Come on, everybody play the anthem strong
(Play the anthem strong)
Come on, join in, sing along, sing it strong
Open up those Pearly Gates of Heaven
Build another mansion next to mine
Everybody dance and shout for joy around the throne
Set another place at the table
Sound the trumpet loud and clear this time
Halleluiah, my child is comin' home
Open up the Pearly Gates of Heaven
Build another mansion next to mine
Everybody dance and shout for joy around the throne
Set another place at the table
Sound the trumpet loud and clear this time
Halleluiah, my child is comin' home
Open up the Pearly Gates of Heaven
Build another mansion next to mine
Everybody dance and shout for joy around the throne
