There's a Whole Lotta Heaven
There's a whole lot of people talkin' ‘bout getting in the gloryland way
Walkin' straight and narrow, trying to get to heaven someday
But I've been saved by the love of the people livin' right here
And there's a whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears
We don't got a prophet to tell us what our future holds
We've only got each other and the love we carry in our souls
Though this world's full of trouble and the path we walk is never clear
There's still this whole lotta trouble shinin' in this river of tears
(chorus) There's a whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears
If you pull back the curtain, little diamonds will appear
You can take your streets of gold if you want ém and your mansion so dear
But I'll take the whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears
This life that I'm livin' is like a ship that don't want to be steered
Sometimes I wake up in the mornin' thinkin' I could buckle
Beneath the weight of my own fears
It's some pain, some strain and some struggle but I persevere
Cause I got a whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears
