The Kingdom of Heaven
A suffering soul
On the way to the Kingdom of Heaven
Held up a sign that said:
"God hates America"
A child has been lost
A mother is shocked
And is grieving
And turning away
Turning away
He said: "There is a love
That is so hideous and destructive
We must drive it from Earth
To save all of our children"
He must know it well
In the night it's the hell
That he speaks of
That keeps him awake
Keeps him awake
My God is love
My God is peace
My God loves you
My God loves me
A suffering soul
On the way to the Kingdom of Heaven
Prayed in the dark:
"Death to the infidel"
He strapped all his
Desperate pain and his faith
To his body
And blew them away
Blew them away
A suffering soul
On the way to the Kingdom of Heaven
Shouts on the news:
"They are the godless ones"
The anger inside
And the fear that it hides
Never leave her
When the cameras are gone
When the cameras move on
Oh, people, come on
Tell me where is your Kingdom of Heaven?
Where is your faith?
Where do you put your fear?
Do you have a price for truth
And a price for believing?
And heaven is here
Heaven is here
My God is love
My God is peace
My God is you
And my God is me
