Once, I was drowning in my fears
And the twinkle in my eye disappeared
And I had no way to look on
My horizon seemed to have gone

And my whole life
Seemed empty and bleak
Each day and night
The answers I seeked

But when, the darkness seemed so strong
And I couldn't go on
To the sky I raised my hands
Making right what was so wrong
I found the strength to carry on
Up to heaven where I belong

In life, there are lessons to be learned
With steadfastness, paradise is earned
And if all hope seems to be gone
Just hold on till after the storm

And if you ask
What purpose have I?
Why am I here?
And why do I cry?

And when, the darkness seems so strong
And you just can't go on
Pray for your helping hand
You'll see the sun will rise again
You'll find the strength to carry on
Up to heaven where you belong

'Cause life is but a journey for us all
We cry, we laugh, we run, sometimes we fall
But through it all
Always recall
God never gives
A burden too tall

When, the darkness seems so strong
And I can't go on
To the sky I raise my hands
Making right what is so wrong
I find the strength to carry on
Up to heaven where I belong

'Cause when the darkness seems so strong
And I can't go on
To the sky I raise my hands
Making right what is so wrong
I find the strength to carry on
Up to heaven where I belong

Up to heaven
Heaven where I belong
Up to heaven
Heaven where I belong
Up to heaven
Heaven where I belong
Up to heaven
Heaven where I belong
Up to heaven
Heaven where I belong
