[Verse 1: Alert312]
I never wanted this to be
All that is for me
This tragic world, can be
The definition of the world-to-be
Meaning, it's like there's something else inside of me
Aching like a hunger, like a lust for another light
Like desire like no other, like an ache for a lover
Like a longing for e-tern-ity
[Hook: Alert312]
I'm looking for that upside, upside city full of peace
God as my witness I want them golden streets
Upside, upside a kingdom full of peace
God living with us, Christ the only King
Upside, upside a city full of peace
God as my witness I want the Prince of Peace
Upside, upside, upside, upside
I'm living for that
[Verse 2: Alert312]
I know that this can't be
All that there is for me
My vision has to be
Fixed on a greater thing
Meaning, It's like I'm running toward another being
Obsessed with a greater king
Like something in the present I can't fully see
But faith is my vision and the object of my trust is
Perfectly trustworthy, so I journey, half here but half yearning
[Hook: Alert312]
I'm looking for that upside, upside city full of peace
God as my witness I want them golden streets
Upside, upside a kingdom full of peace
God living with us, Christ the only King
Upside, upside a city full of peace
God as my witness I want the Prince of Peace
Upside, upside, upside, upside
I'm living for that
[Verse 3: Alert312]
The downside of the present, presently is crystal clear
The ground got a mouth, crying out with human tears
Blood still spills from my brothers heads, k**ed
And Noah's flood water still uncover evil on us
Carving out the heart, goes deeper than a carca**
The lie we all bonded by a little human progress
Sure, we grow deep into technology and science
But still don't read the signs – Intellectual Design
By denying human conscience, or Schindlers list [?]
From ISIS to a crisis, the evidence is on us
The downsides obvious, but the upsides promised
Crystal clear is Christ's purpose - to return for His Beloved
[Hook: Alert312]
I'm looking for that upside, upside city full of peace

Upside, upside a kingdom full of peace
God living with us, Christ the only King
Upside, upside a city full of peace
God as my witness I want the Prince of Peace
Upside, upside, upside, upside
I'm living for that
