There's A Whole Lotta Heaven

[Verse 1]

There's a lot of people talking 'bout getting in the glory land way

Walking straight and narrow, 'cuz they're trying to get to heaven someday

But I've been saved by the love of the people living right here

And there's a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears

We don't got a prophet who can tell us what our future will hold

We've only got each other and the love we carry in our souls

Though this world's full of trouble and the path we walk is never clear

There's still this whole lot of heaven shining in a river of tears

[Chorus]

There's a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears

If you pull back the curtain, little diamonds will appear

So take your streets of gold if you really want 'em and your mansions so dear

But I'll take the whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears

[Verse 2]

Well, this life that I'm living is like a ship that don't want to be steered

Sometimes I wake up in the morning thinking I could buckle

'Neath the weight of my own fears

It's some pain, some strain and some struggle but I persevere

Cause I got a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears

[Chorus]

There's a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears

If you pull back the curtain, little diamonds will appear

You can take your streets of gold if you really want 'em and your mansions so dear

But I'll take the whole lot of heaven, it's shining

I want the whole lot of heaven, it's shining

I love the whole lot of heaven, it's shining in this river of tears
