Phone rang screen said caller ID said blocked[00:00:33]
But for some reason I decided to answer it[00:00:38]
On the other end was a French accent[00:00:42]
He told me we needed to rap quick[00:00:49]
Cause he had did some bad shit[00:00:52]
And would be gone for years[00:00:55]
Spending these last two days[00:00:59]
With his momma and his kids[00:01:01]
When he spoke I wasn't trying to hear it[00:01:06]
Cause I knew he was a real good person[00:01:10]
And this didn't seem like it was in his spirit[00:01:13]
He couldn't believe as much as I couldn't what he done[00:01:17]
He said now it's time for him to turn himself in[00:01:23]
No longer could he run from life from God[00:01:26]
Start thinkin' why is doing right is so hard[00:01:35]
I got back to him when we was in London discussin' the new testament[00:01:42]
And how our lives related to it[00:01:49]
And how we could make the best of it[00:01:51]
My voice became destined so I asked him why you gotta go[00:01:54]
He said you know turn to Matthew twenty four[00:02:01]
He said no one knows the hour nor do they know the day[00:02:08]
But the kingdom is near don't let anything lead you to stray[00:02:14]
As long as God is with me everything will be okay[00:02:22]
So right about then we decided to pray[00:02:28]
Just lyin' back makin' the smoke disperse a ray[00:02:35]
Deep into clouds[00:02:46]
Deep into clouds[00:02:48]
It's makin' things appear to me so clearly[00:02:51]
Deep in the clouds[00:03:02]
Deep in the clouds[00:03:04]
Just lyin' back makin' the smoke disperse a ray[00:03:07]
Deep in the clouds[00:03:18]
Deep into clouds[00:03:20]
It's makin' things appear to me so clearly[00:03:24]
Deep into clouds[00:03:34]
Your time[00:03:37]
Is a terrible thing to waste[00:03:44]
For there's[00:03:53]
Not one of the possessions that you can bring to space[00:03:58]
Yeah it don't matter[00:04:05]
Yeah it don't matter[00:04:07]
It's a challenge[00:04:09]
But the chance of seeing is quite a dream to chase[00:04:13]
Yes it is yes it is[00:04:21]
I hope[00:04:25]
I remind God of him when he sees my face[00:04:29]
He goin' see it[00:04:38]
Hey hey[00:04:40]
Keeps on[00:04:43]
The feeling just keeps on lifting me higher[00:04:45]
Ever[00:04:51]
And it's ever flowing it's ever flowing[00:04:53]
Keeps on[00:04:59]
When every thing puts a smile on my face[00:05:01]
Ever flowing ever flowing[00:05:07]
And I recognize the strong goal[00:05:12]
But I keep on going I keep on going[00:05:18]
I keep on going on[00:05:26]
He keeps on going he keeps on[00:05:30]
He keeps on going he keeps on going he keeps on[00:05:38]
Hey mighty love[00:05:46]
Watching over me[00:05:49]
A smile brilliant[00:05:54]
All over constantly[00:06:02]
Warm comforting[00:06:10]
Perfect like nothing[00:06:18]
No hate no confusion no strain[00:06:26]
Simply peace simply[00:06:34]
Simply simply simply[00:06:44]
No fear heaven is to me[00:06:47]
No fear of destruction[00:06:54]
Understanding who he is[00:07:02]
His name is Christ[00:07:09]
Heaven heaven is to me[00:07:18]
Wisdom understanding knowledge[00:07:22]
Streets of gold and pearly gates[00:07:34]
Halos wings all dressed in white[00:07:38]
Ah ah[00:07:42]
Angels sing and cymbals glare[00:07:50]
No one's rich no one's poor[00:07:54]
Ah ah[00:07:57]
People dreaming they live free[00:08:05]
Making love while they're in love[00:08:09]
Ah ah[00:08:13]
Wonderful dream wake me when you're home ah ah ah[00:08:21]
Heaven heaven is being pops[00:08:43]
Heaven is spending the day with your grandchildren[00:08:48]
Listenin' to they voices while they laughing and play[00:08:52]
And then at the end of the day[00:08:55]
We hug we kiss and slowly they walk away[00:08:59]
And then suddenly they turn[00:09:03]
And rush back to me[00:09:06]
And hug me round the knees[00:09:09]
Yeah that's heaven to me[00:09:12]
