Men down, others on their knees
Dreams in dust or dragged through the mud
Women, mothers, others who cry
Shouts of anger to hide their pain
Where our beliefs take us
Is heaven worth it
Not elsewhere, not otherwise
Is heaven worth it
Words of war, words of love
Empty words like in too many speeches
Sisters, brothers of the same color
Lands without borders to overcome our fears
Where our beliefs take us
Is heaven worth it
It's together and now
Not elsewhere, not otherwise
If our prayers stay vain
Is heaven worth it
While here, everything still needs doing
Where our beliefs take us
Is heaven worth it
While here, everything still needs doing
Is heaven worth it
While there's still time
Where our beliefs take us
Is heaven worth it
Not elsewhere, not otherwise
If our prayers stay vain
Is heaven worth it
