For many long years through this world I have roamed
Not thinking of the day last to come
But now I have changed, and I want the world to know
That I'm going to make heaven my home
Chorus;
I'm going to make heaven my home,sweet home
I'm left in this world all alone
No mother or dad, I've lost all I had
And I'm going to make heaven my home
The nights seem so lonely around the cabin home
No mother left to guide us along
But on that golden strand I'll take her by the hand
For I'm going to make heaven my home
There's things in this old world that's so hard to understand
Why you have to lose the one you love so
But it's wonderful to know when you leave this world below
That your going to make heaven my home
