Chorus / Description : The song Heaven by Michelle Williams expresses a desire for a heavenly place of eternal life and love. While it does not directly reference the Bible, the themes of streets of gold and eternal life align with biblical descriptions of heaven (Revelation 21:21). The song also emphasizes the importance of following instructions to reach heaven, which can be seen as a reflection of biblical teachings on living a righteous life to attain eternal salvation (Matthew 7:21).
[Carl Thomas:]
Now that its over,
There's no more use for guns and wars.
Costs me a lifetime, just to gain this life's reward.
They say streets of gold.
Can you imagine somewhere where life will never ends?
No one ever grows old.
Oh my brother , please come with me.
It's what I live for.
A place where love will never cease.
Willing to die for.
Heaven is where I want to be.
[Michelle:]
There are instructions that we must follow to a "t".
In order to reach them.
Heaven is where I want to be.
They say streets of gold.
Can you imagine somewhere where life will never ends?
No one ever grows old.
Oh my brother , please come with me.
It's what I live for.
A place where love will never cease.
Willing to die for.
Heaven is where I want to be.
No more night, There is a place where there'll be no
more crying, yeah.
And He is Life. Counting those days when we meet in
the place...
Willing to die for... (ooh yeah.)
It's what I lived for.
A place where love will never cease.
Willing to die for.
Heaven is where I want to be. (I want to be)
