I gotta get myself together, 'cause I got some place to go
And I'm praying when I get there, I'll see everyone I know
I wanna go to heaven, I wanna go to heaven
Said I wanna go to heaven, I wanna go to heaven, do you wanna
Go?
Can you picture a place where there's a smile on every face
And all the worry, all the stressing, all the pressure's been erased
Walking down a street that's golden
Angels singing perfect weather
Everybody's got a mansion, y'all it just don't get no better
I wanna go
I gotta get myself together, 'cause I got some place to go
And I'm praying when I get there, I'll see everyone I know
I wanna go to heaven, I wanna go to heaven
Said I wanna go to heaven, I wanna go to heaven, do you wanna
Go?
The only way I can explain it, is that in life we go through changes
Though we know it serves a purpose, still sometimes it just seems
Worthless
But this race that I am running, whether I run it fast or slow
Long as I just keep on running, I'm gonna make it there someday
I know
I gotta get myself together, 'cause I got some place to go
And I'm praying when I get there, I'll see everyone I know
I wanna go to heaven, I wanna go to heaven
Said I wanna go to heaven, I wanna go to heaven, do you wanna
There's a place for us, one day I wanna see it
There's a place for us, and you may not believe it
But I'm just living my life, so I can live again
Everyday I'm getting ready, 'cause I wanna make it in
I gotta get myself together, cause I got someplace to go
And I'm praying when I get there, I see everyone I know
I wanna go to heaven, I wanna go to heaven
Ooh, it gets hard sometimes
Sometimes I lose my way
But Lord knows I'm trying
To get to Heaven someday
To that beautiful city
Said, "I wanna go to Heaven"
I wanna go to Heaven
I wanna go to Heaven
I wanna go to Heaven
I wanna go
