Blaine Larsen At The Gate Lyrics

At The Gate Lyrics

Will it be my Uncle Ronnie, I barely knew him when he left

He was only
nineteen when he crashed that red Corvette

Will it be my great
grandmother with some cookies that she baked

Oh, I wonder who's gonna
greet me at the gate



Will it be my goodfriend Matthew who spent
his life in a chair

Will he coming running to me the day I get up
there

Or that bully back in high school I told my Mama that I hate

Oh, I wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate



Will it be a choir
of Angels with some heavenly refrain

Or Saint Peter like I've always heard
with his big book of names

Will it be my old dog, Bailey, who died when I
was eight

Oh, I wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate



[Instrumental Interlude]



I pray it's not my wife, my daughter or
my son

Cause that would mean the good Lord took em before my time was
done

Tonight, they're all sound asleep as I lie here wide awake

And
I wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate



We're brought into this
world with God only knows how many years

We crawl, we walk, we run, we
dance

We cry a million tears

And in a flash our lives are over

And we're face to face with fate

Oh, I wonder who's gonna greet me at
the gate

Who's gonna greet me at the gate
