Lyrics Heaven Is Ten Zillion Light Years Away - Shawn Colvin

Heaven Is Ten Zillion Light Years Away

They say that heaven is Ten zillion light years away
And just the pure at heart
Will walk the righteous streets someday
They say that heaven is Ten zillion light years away
And if there is a God we need him now
Where is your god?
That’s what my friends ask me And I say it’s taken him so long
'cause he’s got so far to come
Why can’t they say
That hate is ten zillion light years away
Why can’t the light of gold
Shine god’s love in every soul
Why does the colour black seem to make you a lesser man
I thought this world was made for every man
He loves us all, that’s what my God tells me And I say it’s taken him so long
'cause he’s got so far to come
But in our hearts we can feel him, yeah
Feel his spirit woh, oh woh
Feel him yeah, feel his spirit
I can’t say that heaven is Ten zillion light years away
But if so let all be pure at heart
Just to walk a righteous street
I pray, let god’s love shine within
To save our evil souls
For those who don’t believe
Will never see the light
Where is your god?
He lives inside of me And I say it’s taken him so long
'cause we’ve got so far to come
Where is your god?
Inside please let him be I say it’s taken him so long
'cause we’ve got so far to come
If you open your heart
You can feel it, yeah, yeah
Feel his spirit
