They Won't Go When I Go

George Michael · Listen Without Prejudice [1990]

No more lying friends wanting tragic ends

Though they do pretend, they won't go when I go



All those bleeding hearts with sorrows to impart

Were right here from the start, they won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed to go so long away from tears



Gone from painful cries, away from saddened eyes

Along with him I'll 'bide, they won't go when I go



Big men feeling small, weak ones standing tall

And I will watch them fall, they won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed to go so long away from tears



Unclean minds mislead the pure

The innocent will leave for sure

For them there is a resting place

People sinning just for fun

They will never see the sun

For they can never show their faces

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner

Who will take more than he will give

He will give, he will give, he ain't hardly gonna give



The greed of man will be far away from me

My soul will be free, they won't go when I go



Since my soul conceived all that I believe

The kingdom I will see cause they won't go when I go

When I go, where I'll go

No one can keep me from my destiny
