"Heaven" lyrics - KAREN CLARK SHEARD

Uh, yeah, hype it up, hype it up, hype it up, hype it up...

Here we go, when you see me...

[Verse: The Tri-City Singers]
When you see me fasting and praying down here
I'm doing the best I can
Keep my life together, make it to the promise land
I'm a soldier in this army and I'm gonna win this fight
I'm gonna spread this gospel of Jesus Christ, oh

[Chorus:]
Oh heaven is my goal
I mean heaven
Heaven all the way

Hey, let's say it again...

[Chorus]

Come on everybody, let's dance to victory! Hey!
Say oh...
Yeah, say oh!

[Bridge 1:]
Oh heaven, heaven is mine
Oh heaven, heaven is mine

[Chorus]

Come on Karen, take us out!

[Ad-libs:]
If I live right, if I pray right, oh heaven
(Oh heaven, heaven is mine)
If I stay right, treat my neighbor right
(Oh heaven, heaven is mine)

Oh heaven is my goal
I mean heaven! I mean heaven!

(Heaven)
When you see me singing and shouting down here
(Heaven)
When you see me crying down here
(Heaven)
I'm a soldier, I'm gonna win this fight
(Heaven)
I mean heaven!
(Heaven is mine)

If I live right, if I pray right
(Heaven)
If I stay right, treat my neighbor right
(Heaven)
I'm striving, I'm pressing
(Heaven)
I mean to make it
(Heaven is mine)

Woo! Come on sopranos... altos... tenors...

Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven (You better sing)
Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven (Hey! I mean this thing y'all)
Heaven, heaven, heaven is mine

Heaven!
Heaven!
Heaven! (Oh yeah)
Heaven!
Heaven is mine!
Heaven! (I mean heaven!)
Heaven all the way!
