Sometimes baby when you're really down There just don't seem to be a ray of hope around And everybody that you meet kinda wears a frown It's cold and lonely in the heart of town I've got to tell you all there There's a place that's called heaven Don't you ever forget I once heard about a heaven, yeah I'm gonna get there yet Some days you laugh, some days you cry Sometimes it feels like the world Has passed you right by But everybody's got to find A peaceful place to hide You oughta look until you look inside And i think you'll find it. There's a place that's called heaven And i think that's kinda swell, whoa, whoa, yeah If you don't believe in heaven, yeah You ain't never been They'll try to bring you down to their way Of thinking, yeah But don't you do it, no, no Don't you let it get by A little voice inside will tell you Exactly what you're gonna do Don't feel blue, ooh, ooh, yeah You don't have to go lookin' near of far Cause you can find happiness Standing right where you are Just open up the windows that are in your heart And let the light shine then your life will start We believe it's better There's a place that's called heaven It's filled with joy and peace, whoa, whoa, yeah Once you get a look at heaven, yeah You'll find a love that you seek When all the world is fallin' down You'll find a world Filled with peace and joy and love For every girl and boy And all your troubles will cease You know somebody said to keep on pushin' Cause there's a change that's got to come She said, "thank the lord." And everyday i thank you lord For all the stars and all the seas And all the birds and all the bees.
