I'll be here when the Old Man comes I'll be here when He gets it done ... raise his cane and He'll shoot His gun But I'll be here when the Old man comes Some will laugh and some will cry Some will watch while others die But when all is finally said and done I'll have lost, and He'll have won Yes, I'll have lost, and He'll have won I'll be here in English town, Waiting for that awesome sound When the Lord finally makes the sky come down I'll be here in English town I'll be here when the heavens part I'll be here with an open heart The skies will split, and the clouds depart I'll be here when the heavens part I'll be here when He calls my name And when He puts my life to shame I will ... my guilt and blame I'll be here when He calls my name
