| Phone rang
|
| Screen said caller ID blocked
|
| But for some reason, I decided to answer it
|
| On the other end, was a French accent
|
| He told me we needed to rap quick
|
| Cause he had did some bad shit
|
| And would be gone for years
|
| But spending these last two days with his momma and his kid
|
| When he spoke, I wasn’t trying to hear it
|
| Cause I knew he was a real good person
|
| And this didn’t seem like it was in his spirit
|
| He couldn’t believe as much as I couldn’t, what he had done
|
| He said now it’s time for him to turn himself in
|
| For no longer could he run, from life, from God
|
| I started thinkin, «Why is doin' right is so hard?»
|
| I thought back to when we was in London
|
| Discussin' the New Testament, and how our lives related to it
|
| And how we could make the best of it
|
| My voice became desperate, so I asked him, «Why you gotta go?»
|
| He said, «You know, turn to Matthew 24»
|
| He said, «No one knows the hour, nor do they know the day
|
| But the kingdom is near; |
| don’t let anything lead you astray
|
| As long as God is with me, everything will be okay»
|
| So right about then, we decided to pray
|
| Just lying back, making the smoke disperse away
|
| Deep into clouds (deep into clouds)
|
| It’s making things appear to me so clearly
|
| Deep in the clouds (deep in the clouds)
|
| Just lying back, making the smoke disperse away
|
| Deep in the clouds (deep in the clouds)
|
| It’s making things appear to me so clearly
|
| Deep into clouds (yeah)
|
| Your time, is a terrible thing to waste!
|
| For there’s, not one of these possessions
|
| That you can bring to space (yeah, it don’t matter)
|
| It’s a challenge
|
| But the chance of seeing it, is quite a dream to chase (yes it is)
|
| I hope, I remind God of him
|
| When he sees my face (yeah he will)
|
| He gon' see it!
|
| Higher (keeps on)
|
| This feeling just keeps on, hehe, lifting me higher (ever)
|
| And it’s ever flowing, it’s ever flowing (keeps on)
|
| When everything, puts a smile on my face
|
| (Ever flowing, ever flowing)
|
| And I recognize this strong goal
|
| But I keeps on going
|
| I keep on going (he keeps on going)
|
| I keep on going on, ohh
|
| (He keeps on going, he keeps on)
|
| (He keeps on going)
|
| (He keeps on going, he keeps on going)
|
| All mighty love, watching over me
|
| A smile, brilliant
|
| All over, constantly
|
| Warm, comforting (comforting)
|
| Perfect, like, no-thing
|
| No haze, no confusion, no strain
|
| Simply, peace
|
| Simply, simply, simply, simply
|
| No fear! |
| Heaven is to me
|
| No fear of destruction, oh oh oh oh
|
| Understanding who he is
|
| His name is Christ, yeah (oh oh oh oh)
|
| Heaven, Heaven is to me
|
| Wisdom, understanding, knowledge
|
| Oh (understanding)
|
| Streets of gold and pearly gates
|
| Halos wings all dressed in white
|
| Hah (hah) hah (hah)
|
| Angels sing and cymbols glare
|
| No one’s rich, no one’s poor
|
| Hah (hah) hah (hah)
|
| People dreaming they live free
|
| Making love while they in love
|
| Hah (hah) hah (hah)
|
| Wonderful dream
|
| Wake me when you’re home
|
| Hah (hah) hah (hah)
|
| Heaven? |
| Heaven is being Pops
|
| Heaven is spending a day with the grandchildren
|
| Listening to they voices, and laughter and play
|
| And then at the end of the day
|
| We hug, we kiss, and slowly they walk away
|
| And then suddenly, they turn and rush back to me
|
| And hug me around the knees
|
| Yeah, that’s Heaven to me |
