Phone rang screen said caller ID said blocked

But for some reason I decided to answer it

On the other end was a French accent

He told me we needed to rap quick

Cause he had did some bad shit

And would be gone for years

Spending these last two days

With his momma and his kids

When he spoke I wasn't trying to hear it

Cause I knew he was a real good person

And this didn't seem like it was in his spirit

He couldn't believe as much as I couldn't what he done

He said now it's time for him to turn himself in

No longer could he run from life from God

Start thinkin' why is doing right is so hard

I got back to him when we was in London discussin' the new testament

And how our lives related to it

And how we could make the best of it

My voice became destined so I asked him why you gotta go

He said you know turn to Matthew twenty four

He said no one knows the hour nor do they know the day

But the kingdom is near don't let anything lead you to stray

As long as God is with me everything will be okay

So right about then we decided to pray

Just lyin' back makin' the smoke disperse a ray

Deep into clouds

Deep into clouds

It's makin' things appear to me so clearly

Deep in the clouds

Deep in the clouds

Just lyin' back makin' the smoke disperse a ray

Deep in the clouds

Deep into clouds

It's makin' things appear to me so clearly

Deep into clouds

Your time

Is a terrible thing to waste

For there's

Not one of the possessions that you can bring to space

Yeah it don't matter

Yeah it don't matter

It's a challenge

But the chance of seeing is quite a dream to chase

Yes it is yes it is

I hope

I remind God of him when he sees my face

He goin' see it

Hey hey

Keeps on

The feeling just keeps on lifting me higher

Ever

And it's ever flowing it's ever flowing

Keeps on

When every thing puts a smile on my face

Ever flowing ever flowing

And I recognize the strong goal

But I keep on going I keep on going

I keep on going on

He keeps on going he keeps on

He keeps on going he keeps on going he keeps on

Hey mighty love

Watching over me

A smile brilliant

All over constantly

Warm comforting

Perfect like nothing

No hate no confusion no strain

Simply peace simply

Simply simply simply

No fear heaven is to me

No fear of destruction

Understanding who he is

His name is Christ

Heaven heaven is to me

Wisdom understanding knowledge

Streets of gold and pearly gates

Halos wings all dressed in white

Ah ah

Angels sing and cymbals glare

No one's rich no one's poor

Ah ah

People dreaming they live free

Making love while they're in love

Ah ah

Wonderful dream wake me when you're home ah ah ah

Heaven heaven is being pops

Heaven is spending the day with your grandchildren

Listenin' to they voices while they laughing and play

And then at the end of the day

We hug we kiss and slowly they walk away

And then suddenly they turn

And rush back to me

And hug me round the knees

Yeah that's heaven to me
