Lyrics

I watch the sun rise pass the morning clouds, beyond another endless sky
And though I've seen the scene some time before
It seems that I'm first opening my eyes.
I know my life is just beginning
I know I've never lived before
I don't like taking just like giving
When I give for God He gives me so much more.
Now we're together, Lord hold your hand in mine.
I feel so much better as I gaze into the skies
And I'm wonderin' if I've ever been any closer than this to heaven
I'm travelin' on God's good ship my head is in the clouds I wanna keep climbing higher and higher and I never wanna come down.
The world around me seems to disappear.
He reaches down and lifts me high.
When He lifts up my heart I feel His affection
And I feel His love when I look to the skies.
I'm not lonely 'cause we're together
And I'm leaning on His shoulder
And I'm wonderin' if I've ever been any closer than this to heaven
I'm traveling on His good ship
My head is in His arms
I'm gonna keep climbing higher and higher and I know I'll never come down
I'm having such a good trip
My head is in His arms
I'm gonna keep climbing higher and higher and I never wanna come down
Hope I never come down
Closer to heaven
Hope I never come down
Closer to heaven
Hope I never come down
Closer to Heaven
Hope I never come down
Closer to heaven.
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I wanna be closer to You
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I wanna be closer to You
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I wanna be closer
I wanna be closer to you
Na na na na na na
Closer to heaven.
I can see through the dark of night to the coming light
Closer to heaven
It's the start of a brand new day gonna break away
Closer to heaven
I can see through the dark of night to the coming light
Let there be light.
