Lyrics

I used to think I needed
Those pretty chains you wear
I shot up on the sadness
We both were glad to share

I didn’t want to face me
So I used you for a buffer
Now I just write these crazy songs
It’s an art form how you suffer

Ooh, heaven is not far
O0h, heaven is not far

I think we could be happy
If we could just stop cryin’
I think we could tell the truth
If we could just stop lyin’

We waste our precious future
Trying to reinvent the past
While the moments
That could set us free
Keep slipping by so fast

Ooh, heaven is not far
Ooh, heaven is not far

My people came here long ago
To steal what they could carry
Broke the sacred hoop and left bones
Scattered on the prairie

This world provides enough
To satisfy our every need
But not enough to satisfy
Our never ending greed

Ooh, heaven is not far
Ooh, heaven is not far
We search for love
When love is what we are
Ooh heaven
