In a world of superheros, in a world of weak and strong
In a sea of have and have nots, I've survived the raging storm
And I pray for a world where we all can be free
It's a heavenly vision, it's a garden that I see
It's a joy that graced the heart of loving me

When you've been blessed, feels like heaven
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven

I have faith, I have hope and I trust in the day
When the music from heaven will show us the way
It's a garden of music, it's a garden of love
And we are all his children sharing gifts from above

When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
When you've been blessed, pass it on, pass it on

[?] pass it on and on, and on, and on

When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven

When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven

Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven
