"Paved With Gold"

©1993 Shawn Kendrick Hall

In a land beyond where we are now
lay so many dreams of those here now
and if and if these dreams are true
then whats beyond may frighten you
now if the streets are paved with gold
and the gates are made of pearls as i'm told
and every home is a palace
upon clouds floating high in the sky
then wouldn't the gold standard be way way down?
and wouldn't the thought of money make one frown?
and wouldn't property value just be in the pits?
well if and if thats heaven aint that the shits?

Now if the streets were made of sand
ang gates were never made on land
everyone was a person
upon earth living so peacefully
now when the streets were made of sand
and gates were never made on land
and everyone was a person
upon earth living so peacefully
then wouldn't the world be so much a better place
life'd be better without a master race
everything would run perfect without a hitch
well if and if that aint heaven aint that a bitch
