Heaven Is My Home
Randy Newman · Other Songs - Randy Newman
Heaven is my home
Now this sweet world is precious to me
I have traveled down this road before
On a journey for a friend
Been away but now I'm back for more
Goin' down this road again
You know he answers every prayer
But you better do your part
Spirits all around you everywhere
But you gotta open up your heart
You gotta open up your heart
You're alone when you come in this world
You're alone when you go
And it doesn' t matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you know
Keep on listening for that quiet voice
That's the way to start
The door is open but you have a choice
You've got to open up your heart
You've gotta open up your heart
Oh this world is dear to me
But Heaven is my home
This is where I long to be
But Heaven is my home
When your life seems gloomy
Teardrops start to fall
Send the word back to me
And I'll be there when you call
I've been down this road before
But Heaven is my home
And I'm comin' back (yeah) (in the morn?)
Heaven is my home
Heaven is my home
Heaven Is My Home
