Anders Osborne Heaven by Seven song lyrics

i recall a time, my friend

when nothing seemed to have an end

and time was only something to forget

the grass was so much greener and

the sun always shone warmer then

no rain will ever once again fall so wet

and everything was given to us

we only paid for the down town bus

and i lend myself a buck one time

so i could thank my self for being kind

oh oooo

now the world appears to shrink

at least inside our heads, i think

we're running but we're never getting no where

we learn to love our own disguise

but not to stop when the soul cries

we're too busy running so we don't care

we all want to go to heaven

i hope i make it there by 7 pm

and when we get to paradise

we can toast with jesus christ

oh oooo
