When I hear them say

There's better living

Let them go their way

To that new living

I won't ever stray

'Cause this is heaven to me

Long as freedom grows

(Long as freedom grows)

I want to seek it if it's yes or no

(If it's yes or no)

It's me who'll speak it

'Cause the lord, he knows

That this is heaven to me

If you've got your hands

And got your feet

To plow your land

And cut your wheat

You raise your head

When night is done

Shout your thanks up to the sun

So when I hear them say

(Go away, go away)

There's better living

Let them go their way

(Go away, go away)

To that new living

I won't ever stray

'Cause this is heaven to me
'Cause this is heaven to me
