Heaven Somewhere

Phone rang, screen said caller ID said 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, spending these last two days With his momma and his kids 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 done He said now its time for him to turn himself in No longer could he run, from life, from God Start thinkin', why is doing right is so hard I got back to him 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 destined, so I asked him why you gotta go He said you know turn to Matthew twenty-four He said no one knows the hour, nor do they know the day But the kingdom is near, don't let anything lead you to stray As long as God is with you, everything will be okay So right about then, we decided to pray Just lyin' back makin' the smoke disperse a ray Deep into clouds It's makin' things appear to me so clearly Deep in the clouds Just lyin' back makin' the smoke disperse a ray Deep in the clouds It's makin' things appear to me so clearly Deep into clouds Your time Is a terrible to waste For it's Not one of the possessions that you can bring to space, yeah, it don't matter Its a challenge But the chance of seeing, is quite a dream to chase, yes it is I hope I remind God of him when he sees my face He goin' see it The feeling just keeps on lifting me higher And its ever flowing it's, ever flowing When every thing, puts a smile on my face And I recognize the strong goal But I keep on going, I keep on going I keep on going on Hey mighty love Watching over me A smile, brilliant All over, constantly Warm, comforting Perfect, like nothing No hate, no confusion, no strain Simply peace, simply Simply, simply, simply No fear! Heaven is to me No fear of destruction Understanding who he is His name is Christ Heaven, heaven is to me Wisdom, understanding, knowledge Streets of gold and pearly gates Halos wings all dressed in white Angels sing and cymbals glare No one's rich no one's poor People dreaming they live free Making love while they in love Wonderful dream wake me when you're home Heaven, heaven is being pops Heaven is spending the day with your grandchildren Listenin' to they voices when and they laughing 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 round the knees Yeah, that's heaven to me --- Heaven Somewhere - Omar, Mary J.
