In the Next World

Lyrics

In this world, baby You might do well To pour rivers of mercy On the fires of hell You might make your aim To be truthfulness 'Cause in the next world, baby That's all there is In the next world Love will rule with a velvet touch And it'll heal the wounds That've hurt so much And all those times That seemed so cloudy and confused Won't be so hazy In the next world, baby, oh... In this world, honey The tears still fall It's just a fact of life Written on a tearstained all But don't lose heart Over all the pain 'Cause in thе next world, baby It's all gonna be okay In the nеxt world Love will rule with a velvet touch And it'll heal the wounds That've hurt so much And all those times That seemed so cloudy and confused Won't be so hazy In the next world, baby Don't give in to that tempter's voice That tells you there's no better choice Lay your pride and your anger down Exchange it for a crown 'Cause in this world, baby It's always smart To find some faith For a faithless heart To mine some truth From a shaft of doubt 'Cause in the next world, baby That's all that counts In the next world Love will rule with a velvet touch And it'll heal the wounds That've hurt so much And all those times That seemed so cloudy and confused Won't be so hazy In the next world, baby It' won't be so crazy In the next world, baby (Next world, baby) No, it won't be so hazy In the next world, baby It won't be so hazy In the next world, baby
