| By the time I get to heaven
|
| I’ll be singin' loud and clear
|
| By the time I get to heaven
|
| all my faith will reappear
|
| If the road is full of strangers
|
| and I find it hard to see
|
| I’ll be searching for my angel
|
| who will lead the way for me
|
| (Ooooo…)
|
| By the time I get to heaven
|
| I’ll no longer be a freak
|
| I’ll have to learned to say I’m sorry
|
| and to think before I speak
|
| By the time I get to heaven
|
| Hope I’ve been among the best
|
| By the time I get to heaven
|
| I will lay my cross to rest
|
| And should somebody bring me down
|
| I’m gonna have you come around
|
| I need your presence and protection
|
| I’ll ditch the dope and cut my hair
|
| and rediscover savoire-faire
|
| I’ll be close to pure perfection
|
| By the time I get to heaven
|
| No more cursing no more lies
|
| By the time I get to heaven
|
| I’ll be set for paradise
|
| By the time (By the time)
|
| I get to heaven (I get to heaven)
|
| I’ll have learned my lesson well
|
| By the time (By the time)
|
| I get to heaven (I get to heaven)
|
| Boy the stories I will tell
|
| By the time I get to heaven
|
| I will know what makes a man
|
| Yes by the time I get to heaven
|
| That’s when I will understand
|
| By the time I get to heaven
|
| I get to heaven
|
| I’m gonna cry cry cry cry cry
|
| When I get to heaven
|
| When I get to heaven
|
| When I’m gonna cry
