City Called Heaven - Deitrick Haddon

Good things come outta Detroit, I was born there

And the summer time in Chicago is beautiful as anywhere

And I like shopping in New York, hanging out in Time Square

Then I take a train to Philly, brotherly lover is in the air

Now if all of these cool cities exist

Why is it so hard for you to be convinced

There’s a city called heaven somewhere

There’s a city called heaven somewhere

Oh I wanna go, I hope I see you there

City called heaven somewhere

City called heaven

City called heaven

City called heaven

City called heaven somewhere

They say that there are mansions as far as you can see

They say the streets of gold surrounded by the crystal sea

I say they in despair if you don’t believe

I ain’t gon' argue with ya 'cause it’s a place I never seen

Just because you never seen it doesn’t mean that it’s not there

You don’t see the air you breathin' but you can’t live without it

All I’m trying to tell you is

There’s got to be a better place than this

There’s a city called heaven somewhere

A city called heaven somewhere

Oh I wanna go, I hope I see you there

City called heaven somewhere

City called heaven

City called heaven

City called heaven

City called heaven somewhere

I got a whole lot of loved ones that I can’t wait to see

My grandmother’s over there she go by the name of Jimmy Lee

But I ain’t in no hurry I’ll get there one day

If I keep walking on the narrow way

Gonna share a few laughs with my momma Faye

When I make it to the city called heaven one day

City called heaven

City called heaven

City called heaven

City called heaven

City called heaven

City called heaven

City called heaven

City called heaven

See my cousin David, see my uncle James

Gonna see Jesus one day, oh
