Heaven Is a Real Place

Oh, for the eyes to see beyond this flesh and bone to my final destination, to the city I'll call home,
Well, it's crazy to pretend and try to act like I'm one of the local boys,
Everybody knows that I'm really just a tourist, not by accident, but by my own choice,
Still, so much of the time I live like this spinning ball of land and ocean is my reality complete,
Would you say a prayer for a change in me?
'Cause this is what I want, this is what I need.
I wanna live like heaven is a real place,
I wanna live like heaven is a real place,
In my everyday time and space I wanna live like heaven is a real place.
God didn't give up on the idea of Eden, as some misguided have assumed,
The garden has given place to a city where the walk of God with man will be resumed,
Paradise is not lost at all,
Let my whole life reflect my belief that heaven is where I'll spend eternity,
That would be something, something to see, 'til death is swallowed up in victory.
I wanna live like heaven is a real place,
I wanna live like heaven is a real place,
In my everyday time and space I wanna live like heaven is a real place.
I wanna live like heaven is a real place, real place,
I wanna live like heaven is a real place, real place, (oh, to be free from the spinning ball of land and ocean, land and ocean)
I wanna live like heaven is a real place, real place. (oh, to be free from the spinning ball of land and ocean)
Let my whole life reflect my belief that heaven is where I'm gonna spend eternity,
Oh, that would be something, something to see, 'til death is swallowed up in victory.
I wanna live like heaven is a real place,
I wanna live like heaven is a real place,
In my everyday time and space, heaven is a real place,
I wanna live like heaven is a real place,
I wanna live like heaven is a real place,
In my everyday time and space I wanna live like heaven is a real place (fade)
