Shawn Colvin - Heaven Is Ten Zillion Light Years Away lyrics
[Shawn Colvin - Heaven Is Ten Zillion Light Years Away lyrics]
They say that heaven is
Ten zillion light years away
And just the pure at heart
Will walk the righteous streets someday
They say that heaven is
Ten zillion light years away
And if there is a God we need him now
Where is your god?
Well, that's what my friends ask me
And I say it's taken him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come
Why can't they say
That hate is ten zillion light years away?
Why can't the light of good
Shine God's love in every way?
Why does the color black
Make him a lesser man?
I thought this world was made for every man
He loves us all, that's what my God tells me
And I say it's taken him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come
And I can't say that heaven is
Ten zillion light years away
But, if so let all be pure at heart
Just to walk a righteous street
I pray, let God's love shine within
To save our evil souls
To those who don't believe
Will never see the light where is my God?
He lives inside of me
And I say it's taken him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come
I say it's taken him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come
Ten zillion light years away
And just the pure at heart
Will walk the righteous streets someday
They say that heaven is
Ten zillion light years away
And if there is a God we need him now
Where is your god?
Well, that's what my friends ask me
And I say it's taken him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come
Why can't they say
That hate is ten zillion light years away?
Why can't the light of good
Shine God's love in every way?
Why does the color black
Make him a lesser man?
I thought this world was made for every man
He loves us all, that's what my God tells me
And I say it's taken him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come
And I can't say that heaven is
Ten zillion light years away
But, if so let all be pure at heart
Just to walk a righteous street
I pray, let God's love shine within
To save our evil souls
To those who don't believe
Will never see the light where is my God?
He lives inside of me
And I say it's taken him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come
I say it's taken him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come
