Brett Dennen - Heaven lyrics

Beyond the rules of religion The cloth of conviction Above all the competition Where fact and fiction meet There's no color lines or casts or cla**es There is no fooling the ma**es Whatever faith you practice Whatever you believe Heaven, heaven What the hell is heaven? Is there a home for the homeless? Is there hope for the hopeless? Throw away your misconceptions There's no walls around heaven There's no codes you got to know to get in No minutemen or border patrol You must lose all your earthly possession Leave behind your weapon You cannot buy your salvation There is no pot of gold Heaven, heaven What the hell is heaven? Is there a home for the homeless? Is there hope for the hopeless? Heaven ain't got no prisons No government no business No banks or politicians No armies and no police Castles and cathedrals crumble Pyramids and pipelines tumble The failure keeps you humble Leads us closer to peace Heaven, heaven What the hell is heaven? Is there a home for the homeless? Is there hope for the hopeless?
