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
