Shawn Colvin - Heaven Is Ten Zillion Light Years Away lyrics

They say that Heaven is 10 zillion light years away And just the pure of heart Will walk her righteous streets someday They say that Heaven is 10 zillion light years away But if there is a God We need Him now "Where is your God?" Well that's what my friends ask me And I say, "It's taken Him so long 'Cause we've got so far to come" Why can't they say that hate is 10 zillion light years away Why can't the light of good Shine God's love in every way Why must is color black Make him a lesser man I thought this world Will made for every man He loves us all That's what my God tells me And I say, "It's taken Him so long 'Cause we've got so far to come" And I can't say that Heaven is 10 zillion light years away But if so let all be pure of heart Just to walk her righteous streets I pray Let God's love shine within To save our evil souls To those who don't believe Will never see the light "Where is my God" He lives inside of me And I say, "It's taken Him so long 'Cause we've got so far to come" I say, "It's taken Him so long 'Cause we've got so far to come"
