Lyrics:
Heaven, what you waiting for, I’m standing outside of the pearly gates, just waiting for you to open up the door I say Heaven, where have you been, I was hoping to just walk on in, but I’ve got to someone about some minor sins
Chorus Now I’ve got to sit back and comb through my story, Gonna take a little time down in purgatory Some inclinations need to be severed, If I’m gonna live forever Gotta shake a lot of dust of these shoes, before I can get used to not singling the blues Gotta purify all my layers, Then I get to go upstairs
Verse 2 Heaven. What you got inside, they said I get to find out sooner or later After I kick a little habit that they call pride
Heaven, are the streets really gold? Is the Beatific Vision everything that I have been told?
Verse 3 Heaven, could it be enough, If I put all my desires aside, And do small things with great love? Heaven, may I meet the King?, My garment’s washed in the blood of the lamb, I’m now whole and humble, my soul’s been cleaned
Chorus I’ve given an account for every line in my story, They said my time’s up here in purgatory The gates open with a pull of the lever, I get to live forever It’s like walking through the stars in a constellation, nothing I could ever fathom with my imagination The Creator sure was clever, when He made forever
