Heaven

These days I been getting ready

I been thinking 'bout a city of gold

See my brother got one foot in the gutter

But I'm headed for that city of gold

Oh my sister if you're feeling heavy

Come and hand over your load

We all gonna make it together

Gonna see that city of gold

I been thinking 'bout heaven

Thinking 'bout heaven

There's an army of believers rising

We are headed for a city of gold

Gotta make the most of our time down here

But we're headed for a city of gold

Momma tell me what it's like up there

Where the streams of glory flow

Momma show me how to see it clear

I’m headed for a city of gold

I been thinking 'bout heaven

I been thinking 'bout heaven

My momma always told me to

Keep my eyes on heaven

So that's what I'm gonna do

I been thinking 'bout heaven

Yeah, I've got my treasure

In the place beyond the sky

This world I know is just a moment passing by

So in the valley

In the shadow of the night

I'll lift my eyes

And think about heaven

I been thinking 'bout heaven

No sorrow no pain

You'll wipe the tears away

Oh, father, I can't wait

Till I see you face to face

I'm keeping my eyes on heaven

Oh, on heaven

These days I been getting ready

I been thinking 'bout a city of gold

Are you with me

Come on hold on steady

'Cause we're headed for that city of gold
