By The Time I Get To Heaven

Espen Lind

By the time I get to heaven 
I'll be singin' loud and clear 
By the time I get to heaven 
All my faith will reappear 

If the road is full of strangers 
And I find it hard to see 
I'll be searching for my angel 
Who will lead the way for me 

By the time I get to heaven 
I'll no longer be a freak 
I'll have to learned to say I'm sorry 
And to think before I speak 

By the time I get to heaven 
Hope I've been among the best 
By the time I get to heaven 
I will lay my cross to rest 

And should somebody bring me down 
I'm gonna have you come around 
I need your presence and protection 
I'll ditch the dope and cut my hair 
And rediscover savoire-faire 
I'll be close to pure perfection 

By the time I get to heaven 
No more cursing no more lies 
By the time I get to heaven 
I'll be set for paradise 

By the time I get to heaven 
I'll have learned my lesson well 
By the time I get to heaven 
Boy the stories I will tell 

So by the time I get to heaven 
I will know what makes a man 
Yes by the time I get to heaven 
That's when I will understand
