...

Save me from this prison

Lord help me get away

'Cause only you can save me now

From this misery

...

I've been lost in my own place

And I'm getting' weary

How far is heaven

And I know I need to change

My ways of livin'

How far is heaven, Lord can you tell me?

...

I've been locked up way too long

In this crazy world, how far is heaven

And I just keep on prayin' Lord

Just keep on livin', how far is heaven

Lord can you tell me, how far is heaven

I just got to know how far, how far is heaven

Lord can you tell me

...

Tu que estas en alto cielo

Echame tu bendiciòn

'Cause I know there's a better place

Than this place I'm livin', how far is heaven

So I just got to show some faith

And just keep on giving, how far is heaven

Lord can you tell me, how far is heaven

I just gotta know how far, how far is heaven

Yeah oh Lord can you tell me, how far is heaven

'Cause I just gotta know how far

I just wanna know how far

...
