Suppose there is no home on high

lyrics

____________________________________________

HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH

Supposin' there's no
home on high, no
great beyond up in the sky
no hereafter after all

Well then I want
this world to be
a paradise, a place of peace
I want heaven on this earth

I want a band of angels
in my backyard
singing to the neighborhood
I want heavenly shores
out my front door
milk and honey at the corner store

My just rewards
might be just this
a chance to live,
a touch of bliss,
revelation in a song

I don't want war
I don't want greed
no more hunger or disease
I want heaven on this earth

I don't want war
I don't want greed
no more hunger or disease
I want heaven on this earth

Yes I want
this world to be
a paradise, a place of peace
I want heaven on this earth

I want a band of angels
in my backyard
singing to the neighborhood,
hallelujah glory be
this here's the promised land
