| These days I been getting ready
|
| I been thinking 'bout a city of gold
|
| See my brother got one foot in the gutter
|
| But I’m headed for that city of gold
|
| Oh my sister if you’re feeling heavy
|
| Come and hand over your load
|
| We all gonna make it together
|
| Gonna see that city of gold
|
| I been thinking 'bout heaven
|
| Thinking 'bout heaven
|
| There’s an army of believers rising
|
| We are headed for a city of gold
|
| Gotta make the most of our time down here
|
| But we’re headed for a city of gold
|
| Momma tell me what it’s like up there
|
| Where the streams of glory flow
|
| Momma show me how to see it clear
|
| I’m headed for a city of gold
|
| I been thinking 'bout heaven
|
| I been thinking 'bout heaven
|
| My momma always told me to
|
| Keep my eyes on heaven
|
| So that’s what I’m gonna do
|
| I been thinking 'bout heaven
|
| Yeah, I’ve got my treasure
|
| In the place beyond the sky
|
| This world I know is just a moment passing by
|
| So in the valley
|
| In the shadow of the night
|
| I’ll lift my eyes
|
| And think about heaven
|
| I been thinking 'bout heaven
|
| No sorrow no pain |
| You’ll wipe the tears away
|
| Oh, Father, I can’t wait
|
| Till I see You face to face
|
| I’m keeping my eyes on heaven
|
| Oh, on heaven
|
| These days I been getting ready
|
| I been thinking 'bout a city of gold
|
| Are you with me
|
| Come on hold on steady
|
| 'Cause we’re headed for that city of gold |
