There's A Whole Lot Of Heaven

There's a lot of people talking 'bout getting in the glory land way
 Walking straight and narrow,
 'cuz they're trying to get to heaven someday
 But I've been saved by the love of the people living right here
 And there's a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears
 We don't got a prophet who can tell us what our future will hold
 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 lot of heaven shining in a river of tears
 There's a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears
 If you pull back the curtain, little diamonds will appear
 So take your streets of gold if you
 really want 'em and your mansions so dear
 But I'll take the whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears
 Well, this life that I'm living is
 like a ship that don't want to be steered
 Sometimes I wake up in the morning thinking I could buckle
 'Neath the weight of my own fears
 It's some pain, some strain and some struggle but I persevere
 Cause I got a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears
 There's a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears
 If you pull back the curtain, little diamonds will appear
 You can take your streets of gold if you
 really want 'em and your mansions so dear
 But I'll take the whole lot of heaven, it's shining
 I want the whole lot of heaven, it's shining
 I love the whole lot of heaven, it's shining in this river of tears
