My father said nothing comes easy

And nothing fair isn't hard to tell

Your heart might break when things get heavy

Sometimes to get ahead you gotta go through hell

Oh It's a long way to heaven

Yeah It's a long way from here

I got a long way to heaven

And I'm afraid I cannot stay if I get there

There's an honest man underneath his armor

Reached his end and may have sealed his fate

In the hardest times I feel forgotten

If God is coming man he's runnin'late

Oh It's a long way to heaven

Yeah It's a long long way from here

I got a long way to heaven

And I'm afraid I cannot stay if I get there

Take me back take me back yeah

Take me back show me who I was

Take me back to a time when I feel something real

We were smiling up above

Yeah we were shining in his sun

Oh It's a long way to heaven

Yeah It's a long way from here

I got a long way to heaven

And I'm afraid I cannot stay if I get there

If I get there
