MELISSA ETHERIDGE LYRICS - The Kingdom Of Heaven

"The Kingdom Of Heaven"



A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven

Held up a sign that says "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

It 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, c'mon? 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
