Arif Mardin - Heaven lyrics

Sometimes, baby, when you're really down There just don't seem to be a ray of hope around And everybody that you meet kind of wears a frown It's cold and lonely in the heart of town Got to tell you all that There's a place that's called heaven Don't you ever forget Now, once I heard about heaven, yeah I'm gonna get there yet Some days you laugh and some days you cry Sometimes it feels like the world has pa**ed you right by But everybody's got to find a peaceful place to hide If you're out looking, take a look inside And I think you'll find that There's a place that's called heaven You might think that's kind of square, oh oh yeah If you don't believe in heaven, yeah You ain't never been there 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 (don't let it by) A little voice inside will tell you Exactly what you're gonna do Don't be a fool Ooh yeah You don't have to go looking near or 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 Please believe it that There's a place that's called heaven It's filled with joy and peace, whoa oh yeah And once you get a look at heaven, yeah You'll find the love that you seek When all the world is falling down You'll find a world filled with peace and love and joy For every girl and boy And all your troubles will cease You know, somebody said to keep on pushing 'Cause there's a change that's got to come She said, "Thank the Lord" And every day I thank you, Lord For all the stars and all the seas And all the birds and all the bees It's heaven Whoo Oh oh Yeah, oh oh
