[Verse 1]

Maybe the streets are gold

And there's a table with plenty room

Maybe we don't grow old

And we got nothing to lose

Maybe in the Promise Land

There's a choir when you walk through

Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof

[Verse 2]

Maybe the sun don't set

And the waters don't rise

Maybe we don't forget

How to laugh like a child

Maybe in the Promise Land

We're all made for what we do

Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof

[Chorus]

Washing away

Washing away my sorrows

Giving me faith

Giving me faith to follow a new tomorrow

They tell me in the Promise Land

There are mansions to choose

Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof

[Verse 3]

Maybe time stands still

And the mountains just move

Maybe we all have wings

And there's only good news

They say the Living Water

Is the Fountain of Youth

Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof

[Chorus]

Washing away

Washing away my sorrows

Giving me faith

Giving me faith to follow a new tomorrow

They tell me in the Promise Land

There are mansions to choose

Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof

Washing away (Washing away)

Washing away my sorrows

Giving me faith (Giving me faith)

Giving me faith to follow a new tomorrow

Yeah, in the Promise Land

There are mansions for me and you

Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof

I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof
