Lyrics
They wanted heaven on a golden tower.
They worked and slaved at it for hour on hour.
But living life is not just what we know,
God wants our heart and our soul.
They wanted knowledge, everything to know.
Get up to God seemed the way to go.
But they forgot the most important part...
God wants our heart.
They wanted heaven on a golden tower.
They worked and slaved at it for hour on hour.
But living life is not just what we know,
God wants our heart and our soul.
In the beginning it all went their way.
Watch the tower growing day by day.
But they forgot what would make life whole...
God wants our soul.
They wanted heaven on a golden tower.
They worked and slaved at it for hour on hour.
But living life is not just what we know,
God wants our heart and our soul.
In different languages they started to speak.
They lost all things that they tried to seek.
Now they can set a new goal...
God wants our heart and our soul.
They wanted heaven on a golden tower.
They worked and slaved at it for hour on hour.
But living life is not just what we know,
God wants our heart and our soul.
They wanted heaven on a golden tower.
They worked and slaved at it for hour on hour.
But living life is not just what we know,
God wants our heart and our soul.
God wants our heart and our soul.
God wants our heart and our soul.
