Heaven Is Ten Zillion Light Years Away - Shawn Colvin

They say that heaven is Ten zillion light years away

And just the pure at heart

Will walk the righteous streets someday

They say that heaven is Ten zillion light years away

And if there is a God we need him now

Where is your god?

That’s what my friends ask me And I say it’s taken him so long

'cause he’s got so far to come

Why can’t they say

That hate is ten zillion light years away

Why can’t the light of gold

Shine god’s love in every soul

Why does the colour black seem to make you a lesser man

I thought this world was made for every man

He loves us all, that’s what my God tells me And I say it’s taken him so long

'cause he’s got so far to come

But in our hearts we can feel him, yeah

Feel his spirit woh, oh woh

Feel him yeah, feel his spirit

I can’t say that heaven is Ten zillion light years away

But if so let all be pure at heart

Just to walk a righteous street

I pray, let god’s love shine within

To save our evil souls

For those who don’t believe

Will never see the light

Where is your god?

He lives inside of me And I say it’s taken him so long

'cause we’ve got so far to come

Where is your god?

Inside please let him be I say it’s taken him so long

'cause we’ve got so far to come

If you open your heart

You can feel it, yeah, yeah

Feel his spirit
