Brett Dennen - Heaven lyrics

rate me

Beyond the rules of religion

The cloth of conviction

Above all the competition

Where fact and fiction meet

There’s No color lines or casts or classes

There is no fooling the masses

Whatever faith you practice

Whatever you believe

Heaven. Heaven.

What the hell is Heaven?

Is there a home for the homeless?

Is there hope for the hopeless?

Throw away your myth misconceptions

There ain’t no walls around heaven

There are no codes you gotta know to get in

No minutemen or border patrol

You must lose all earthly possession

Leave behind your weapon

You cannot buy your salvation

There is no pot of gold

(chorus)

Heaven ain’t got no prisons

No government no business

No banks or politicians

No armies and No police

Castles and cathedrals crumble

Pyramids and pipelines tumble

The failure keeps you humble

Leads us closer to peace
