Heaven Lyrics

[Intro]
Vámonos!

[Verse 1]
Save me from this prison
Lord, help me get away
'Cause only you can save me now from this misery
I've been lost in my own place, and I'm gettin' weary
How far is Heaven?
And I know that I need to change my ways of livin'
How far is Heaven?
Lord, can you tell me?

[Verse 2]
I've been locked up way too long in this crazy world
How far is Heaven?
And I just keep on prayin'
Lord, and just keep on livin'
How far is Heaven?
Yeah, Lord, can you tell me?
How far is Heaven? ('Cause I just gotta know how far, yeah)
How far is Heaven? (Yeah, Lord, can you tell me?)

[Bridge]
Tu que estas en alto cielo
Echame tu bendicion

[Chorus]
'Cause I know there's a better place than this place I'm living
How far is Heaven?
So I just gotta have some faith and just keep on giving
How far is Heaven? (Yeah, Lord, can you tell me?)
How far is Heaven? ('Cause I just gotta know how far, yeah)
How far is Heaven? (Yeah, Lord, can you tell me?)
How far is Heaven? ('Cause I just gotta know how far)
I just wanna know how far

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Vámonos is the opening word as shared by Absolutgrl.

Guitarist Henry Garza wrote the lyrics.
In his own words Henry states,“Losing a son, when I was 18 years old. That’s where the music comes from, deep inside. What God has entrusted us with is to make the music. My brothers remember lots of stuff too. It’s trying out there. I was blessed with more kids after the death of my son. I’m blessed with a real family, real music. Trying to provide for your family is hard. We’re living proof that you can make dreams happen.”
