Johnny Cash - Gospel Boogie (A Wonderful Time Up There) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
Well, now, everybody's going to have religion and glory
Everybody's going to be a-singing that story
Everybody's going to have a wonderful time up there
Oh, glory hallelujah
Brother, there's a reckoning a-coming in the morning
Better get ready because I'm giving you the warning
Everybody's going to have a wonderful time up there

[Verse 1]
Now listen, everybody because I'm talking to you
The Lord is the only one to carry you through
Ya better get ready because I'm telling you why
The Lord is a-coming from his throne on high
Going down the valley, going one by one
We're going to be rewarded for the things we've done
How you going to feel about the things you'll say on that judgment day?

[Chorus]
Well-a, well-a, well-a
Well, now, everybody's going to have religion and glory
Everybody's going to be a-singing that story
Everybody's going to have a wonderful time up there
Oh, glory hallelujah
Brother, there's a reckoning a-coming in the morning
Better get ready because I'm giving you the warning
Everybody's going to have a wonderful time up there

[Verse 2]
Now you get your Holy Bible in the back of the book
The book of Revelations is the place you look
If you understand it and you can if you try
The Lord is a-coming from his throne on high
A-reading in the Bible about the things he said
He said he's coming back again to raise the dead
Are you going to be among the chosen few?
Or will you make it through?

[Chorus][x2]
