Iris DeMent - There's a Whole Lotta Heaven lyrics

There's a lot of people talkin' 'bout getting in the gloryland way Walkin' straight and narrow, trying to get to heaven someday But I've been saved by the love of the people livin' right here And there's a whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears We don't have a prophet to tell us what our future holds We've only got each other and the love we carry in our souls Though this world's full of trouble and the path we walk is never clear There's still this whole lotta heaven shinin' in a river of tears There's a whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears You pull back the curtain little diamonds will appear You can take your streets of gold if you want 'em And your mansion so dear But I'll take the whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears This life that I'm livin' is like a ship that don't want to be steered Sometimes I wake up in the mornin' thinkin' I could buckle beneath the weight of my own fears It's some pain, some strain and some struggle But I persevere I got a whole lotta heaven shinin' in my river of tears There's a whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears You pull back the curtain little diamonds will appear You can take your streets of gold if you want 'em And your mansion so dear But I'll take the whole lotta heaven shinin' I want a whole lotta heaven shinin' I love a whole lotta heaven shinin' In this river of tears
