Verse 1

Maybe the streets are gold
And there's a table
With plenty room
Maybe we don't grow old
And we got nothing to lose
Maybe in the promised land
There's a choir when
You walk through
But I pray Heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof

Verse 2

Maybe the sun don't set
And the waters don't rise
Maybe we don't forget
How to laugh like a child
Maybe in the promised land
We're all made for what we do
But I pray Heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof

Chorus

Washing away
Washing away my sorrows
Giving me faith
Giving me faith to follow
A new tomorrow
They tell me in the promised land
There are mansions to choose
But I pray Heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof

Verse 3

Maybe time stands still
And mountains just move
Maybe we all have wings
And there's only good news
They say the living water
Is the fountain of youth
But I pray Heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof

Chorus

Washing away
Washing away my sorrows
Giving me faith
Giving me faith to follow
A new tomorrow
They tell me in the promised land
There are mansions to choose
But I pray Heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof
