streets of gold

and I wake up
see the streets of gold
i can still remember
when this story was told

 

the paradise i always dreamed of
the one i worked so hard for
and now that I'm here
I could never ask for more

 

my knees hit the floor
as I thank God
that I finally get to meet him
and I pleed for the forgiveness
for every foolish sin

 

living in a world we always hoped
existed
but only the ones that believed
get to see it

 

as I pray this
please God
let me wake up in this dream

What a great piece, flowing, emotive, and layered. One small thing pleed? Did you mean plead?
