A Hard Way To Heaven

Oh yeah

She had a fear on her pillow
That was hiding among her hair
But in the day, she felt so strong
With no monkey on her shoulder
She was feeling kinda older
But she never thought her life could be wrong

Every morning comes to another
She tried to be a good mother
Each day she took her children to school
She wanted her real life to be good
Though sometimes she was in the mood
To judge herself a real mistake

Every day she drove her car right into the highway
Her eyes were blinded by the sun
Her thoughts ran deep right into her heart
Every moment she felt a little more alone

Yeah, it's a hard way to Heaven, someone heard her say
A hard way to Heaven these days
That's a hard way to Heaven to believe we'll be saved
From our lives looking like the original sin
It's a hard way to Heaven everybody's facing up
A hard way to Heaven to live yeah, yeah
Just a hard way to Heaven by the moment we were born
To the last second we see the light
A hard way to Heaven

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well
There ain't nobody who makes a deal
For turning your dreams to real
Only the Lord can turn you on
So she got down on her knees every night with her fears
To pray for some change in her life

She longed to see the light shining and warming her heart
And finally, to be blinded by love
She prayed for some respect for her from this world
For some dignity among her suffering

Yeah, it's a hard way to Heaven I hear'em saying every day
A hard way to Heaven these days
That's a hard way to Heaven to believe we'll be saved
From our lives through our original sin

It's a hard way to Heaven
Everybody's facing up
A hard way to Heaven to live yeah, yeah
Just a hard way to Heaven from the moment we were born
To the last second we see the light
A hard way to Heaven

It's a hard way to Heaven
I hear them saying there days
A hard way to Heaven these days
That's a hard way to Heaven to believe we'll be saved
By washing away our original sin
Yeah, it's a hard way to Heaven
Everybody thinks enough
A hard way to Heaven to live yeah yeah
That's a hard way to Heaven from the moment we were born
To the last one we see the light
A hard way to Heaven
Yeah
