Fifty Miles of Elbow Room Lyrics

When the gates swing wide on the other side,
Just beyond the sunset sea.
There'll be room to spare as we enter there.
There'll be room for you and room for me.
For the gates are wide on the other side,
Where the flowers ever bloom.
On the right hand and on the left hand,
Fifty miles of elbow room.
Twelve-hundred miles, it's length and breadth,
That four-square city stands.
It's gem-set walls of Jasper shine,
They're not made by human hands.
One-hundred miles it's gates are wide
Abundant city square.
With fifty miles of elbow room,
On either side to spare.
When the gates swing wide....

That horse rich city I shall see
when done worth falling time
sometimes it seems I almost hear
The bells are glory chime
This will be mine when I shall
to that city fair
fifty miles of elbow room
On either side to spare
When the gates swing wide....

Sometimes I'm cramped and I'm crowded here,
And I long for elbow room.
I long to reach for altitude,
Where the fairest flowers bloom.
This will be mine when I shall pass
Thru yonder gate so fair
With fifty miles of elbow room,
On either side to spare.

When the gates swing wide....
