Papa used to tell some crazy stories
Of things that happened when he was a kid
My Granny would laugh and say it never happened
Oh, but knowing my Papa, it probably did
He said he walked to school uphill both ways
Times were hard in the good old days
And being poor could make a boy tough
Yeah, he didn't have a lot but he always had enough
But when he'd talk of Heaven he would cry
Oh, then Granny would grin and look at me
And then she'd quietly sigh, she'd say
The one about Heaven is true
There's really a mansion prepared for you
The Lord's coming back like He said He would do
The one about Heaven is true
Yeah, the one about Heaven is true
He said there's a city where the streets are gold
And you can live forever but you never get old
You can sing along with an angel band
Yeah, your dreams come true in the Promised Land
Oh, the one about Heaven is true
There's really a mansion prepared for you
The Lord's coming back like He said He would do
The one about Heaven is true
Yeah, the one about Heaven is true
It's true
Now I was with him when he passed away
And I know exactly what he'd say
If I could talk with him today, he'd say
The one about Heaven is true
There's really a mansion prepared for you
The Lord's coming back like He said He would do
The one about Heaven is true
Yeah, the one about Heaven is true
Oh, the one about Heaven is true
There's really a mansion prepared for you
The Lord's coming back like He said He would do
The one about Heaven is true
Yeah, the one about Heaven is true
Yeah, the one about Heaven is true
There's really a mansion prepared for you
Yeah, the Lord's coming back like He said He would do
The one about Heaven is true
Yeah, the one about Heaven is true
