Heaven's My Home

When I was born
My Daddy said I was broken
The beginning of the end
Of a life I hadn’t chosen
He taught me how to give up
He taught me how to work the system
But I never had the time
I never had the luxury
Life’s hard, I’ve always known that
I’ve never been handed no welcome mat
When I die, please don’t cry
'Cause heaven’s my home anyhow
Shining my shoes
Seems like time for wasting
'Cause this bright sun
Is the only shine I need
They say you only live once
And the lot you get’s for keeping
But glory’s gonna come
And make a new man out of me
Life’s hard, I’ve always known that
I’ve never been handed no welcome mat
When I die, please don’t cry
'Cause heaven’s my home anyhow
When I was born
My face was like the angels
I took my father by the hand
He said life won’t be hard now
No, life’s hard, I’ve always known that
I’ve never been handed no welcome mat
When I die, please don’t cry
'Cause heaven’s my home anyhow
Life’s hard, I’ve always known that
I’ve never been handed no welcome mat
When I die, please don’t cry
'Cause heaven’s my home anyhow
When I die
When I die
When I die
Please don’t cry
Life’s hard, I’ve always known that
I’ve never been handed no welcome mat
When I die, please don’t cry
'Cause heaven’s my home
