| Good things come outta Detroit, I was born there
|
| And the summer time in Chicago is beautiful as anywhere
|
| And I like shopping in New York, hanging out in Time Square
|
| Then I take a train to Philly, brotherly lover is in the air
|
| Now if all of these cool cities exist
|
| Why is it so hard for you to be convinced
|
| There’s a city called heaven somewhere
|
| There’s a city called heaven somewhere
|
| Oh I wanna go, I hope I see you there
|
| City called heaven somewhere
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven somewhere
|
| They say that there are mansions as far as you can see
|
| They say the streets of gold surrounded by the crystal sea
|
| I say they in despair if you don’t believe
|
| I ain’t gon' argue with ya 'cause it’s a place I never seen
|
| Just because you never seen it doesn’t mean that it’s not there
|
| You don’t see the air you breathin' but you can’t live without it
|
| All I’m trying to tell you is
|
| There’s got to be a better place than this
|
| There’s a city called heaven somewhere
|
| A city called heaven somewhere
|
| Oh I wanna go, I hope I see you there
|
| City called heaven somewhere
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven somewhere
|
| I got a whole lot of loved ones that I can’t wait to see
|
| My grandmother’s over there she go by the name of Jimmy Lee
|
| But I ain’t in no hurry I’ll get there one day
|
| If I keep walking on the narrow way
|
| Gonna share a few laughs with my momma Faye
|
| When I make it to the city called heaven one day
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| City called heaven
|
| See my cousin David, see my uncle James
|
| Gonna see Jesus one day, oh |
