Feel the sun upon your back
Someone somewhere wants to steal it
Pray each night youll catch the thief
But while you sleep he comes and takes it

Does that make you think little girl ?
Doesnt it just little boy

Therell be no stampede on the pearly gates
Ill say after you youll say I dont mind the wait
Therell be no stampede on those imposing doors
Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all fours

See the smile on her young face
Watch life casually erase it
Now I know shes all grown up
She wears a look I cant quite place yet

What makes you cry little girl ?
Maybe Im scared little boy

Therell be no stampede on the pearly gates
Ill say after you youll say I dont mind the wait
Therell be no stampede on those imposing doors
Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all fours
Therell be no stampede on the pearly gates
Ill say after you youll say I dont mind the wait
