"WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN (1 Mic 1 Take)" lyrics

This is a song about my dad

My old man
Was always walking with and talking with the man upstairs
It didn't matter who was listening, He didn't care
Like a soldier on a mission
He raised me
To be the kind of man he always wanted to be
He wasn't perfect, but he was Superman to me

He told me
Real love is worth fighting for
And it's the only thing worth dying for

He said
When I get to Heaven
I hope the Father says well done
Come and lay down all your burdens
All your battles have been won
Be with your forever family and never say goodbye
Oh, when I get to Heaven tears of joy will be the only tears I cry

Looking back
I wouldn't change a thing, no not even all the bad
Because now I can see, oh I can see the promise land

I got a hope just like my daddy did
And it's the only way to live

He said
When I get to Heaven
I hope the Father says well done
Come and lay down all your burdens
All your battles have been won
Be with your forever family and never say goodbye
Oh, when I get to Heaven tears of joy will be the only tears I cry

Oh what a day that will be
Walking down the streets of gold
I can hear my Father sing

Singing
When I get to heaven
I'm gonna lay down all my burdens
And be with my forever family and never say goodbye
Oh, when I get to Heaven tears of joy will be the only tears I cry
Oh
Oh when I get to Heaven tears of joy will be the only tears I cry

Mmmmm
