This song
is dedicated to Granny, Dad, Mother Junior & Jamelia
And all
those who have passed on before us
Rest in
peace until we meet again

When you
lose somebody, when you lose someone
When you
lose somebody you love
Remember
they gone to a better place
A better
place a better better place
They gone
to a better place
A better
place a better better place

This
world is like a bridge we’ve gotta cross over
And life
is like a never ending journey
Death is
like a layover or a stopover
But it’s
never really over

Good people never die they just close their
eyes
Go to
sleep and then arise - imagine their surprise
When they
realize that they have survived
That’s
why I say there’s no need to cry

Chorus

Life, the
journey to another day
Not here
to stay ‘cause sometimes it gets taken away
Skies get
grey and gun fire fly through LA
Mama call
unto the lord and fall onto her knees to pray
It
happens everyday from LA to the Bay
From
back-a-yard JA to Handsworth UK
What can
I say
Mama wipe
the tear from your face
He’s in a
better place a much better place
Never
erase the memory and keep it alive
Because a
family is all we really need to survive
It aint
no lie, look me right straight in the eye
I tell we
don’t die we graduate to the sky
And then
we fly
Reaching
out and touching people’s dreams
Like a
guardian angel protecting you from evil things
Remember
we don’t come from here we come from up in space
So when
we pass we going to a better place

Chorus

Well from
you first breath........... at the moment of birth
Your name
is written in the books of the Universe
On planet
earth lord the only guarantee
Is that
we all have to leave eventually
Some will
pass, some will just fuse
Many will
survive, some will choose to refuse
But I
know there’s a place for each and everyone
Cause in
my Father’s house there are so many mansions

It’s
a better place.........
One step closer to perfection
In the
Mansion Halls of Resurrection
It’s
a better place.........
Can you imagine the occasion
What a
beautiful family reunion
It’s
a better place......... And we don’t lose our memory
So I’ll
remember you and you’ll remember me
It’s
a better place.........
Oh what a happy day it will be
When we
meet on the other side

Chorus

Oh what a
happy day it will be
Oh what a
happy day it will be
Oh what a
happy day it will be
Oh what a
happy day it will be
When we
meet on the other side
