Long Walk to Heaven
Well, I'm one day
One day closer
Than I've ever been before
One mile
One mile further
Down this tired and weary road
This old world
Is full of some trouble
So many heartaches
I have known
Like a pilgrim
I keep on moving
'Cause this world
Is not my home
It's a long walk
It's a long walk
It's a long walk to heaven
And I'm too close to turn around
Sometimes every mile's a mountain
And each step
Lord, I'm counting
Until I see the lights beyond
That crystal sea
Lead me on
Lest I falter
Until I kneel down
At your altar
Then father please, oh please, oh please
Have mercy on me, well (well) well (well)
Well, it's a long walk
It's a long walk
It's a long walk to heaven
But I'm too close to turn around
Turn around, to turn around
