Heaven Is Not Far Away

Heaven is not far away 
I told the preacher man 
To set me free 
Cos I don't want to die 
Before I go to heaven 
I don't want to be perfect
About the next life 
I just want to live the life now 
How can I forbid this natural
Heaven on earth 
Expecting to die to achieve a paradise
What happen to the ones here 
What happen to happiness on earth 
What happen to love in the world 
What happen to life here on our planet 
Must it be the hell we never hope to see 
Or could we make it a heaven for us all 
For as long as am concerned
Heaven is not far away

Heaven is not far away
On this same planet 
Some are living as kings 
Some are living as slaves 
On this same globe 
Some are rich 
A lot are so poor 
On this same universe
Some burn in hell
While 
Some find heaven 
So don't tell me about the after life heaven
For as long as am concerned
Heaven is not far away
