Jackson Browne Dont You Want To Be There Lyrics

Dont You Want To Be There Lyrics

Don't you want to be there, don't you want to go?

Where the light is
breaking and the cold clear winds blow

Don't you want to be there in the
golden glow



Don't you want to be there, don't you want to fly?

With your arms out, let a shout take you across the sky

Don't you want
to be there when the time's gone by



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



And those
you have wronged, you know

You need to let them know some way

And
those who have wronged you, know

You'll have to let them go someday



Don't you want to be there?

Don't you want to cry when you see
how far

You've got to go to be where forgiveness rules

Instead of
where you are



Don't you want to be there, don't you want to
know?

Where the grace and simple truth of childhood go

Don't you
want to be there when the trumpets blow



Blow for those born into
hunger 

Blow for those lost 'neath the train

Blow for those choking
in anger

Blow for those driven insane



And those you have
wronged, you know

You need to let them know some way

And those who
have wronged you, know

You'll have to let them go someday



Don't you want to be there?

Don't you want to see where the angels
appear

Don't you want to be where there's strength and love

In the
place of fear
