Sweet Sounds Of Heaven

(album: Hackney Diamonds - 2023)

I hear the sweet, sweet sounds of Heaven
Falling down, falling down to this earth
I hear the sweet, sweetest sounds of Heaven
Drifting down, drifting down to this earth
Bless the Father, bless the Son, hear the sound of the drums
As it echoes through the valley and it bursts, yeah
Let no woman or child go hungry tonight
Please protect us from the pain and the hurt, yeah

I smell the sweet
Sweet scents of Heaven
Coming down (Coming down)
Tumbling down (Tumbling down) to the earth (From the earth)
I hear the sweet sounds (Sweet sounds)
The sweet sounds of children (Ooh, the sweet sounds)
And they're praising (Praisin')
The land of their birth (No)

No, I'm not, not going to Hell
In some dusty motel
And I'm not, not going down
In the dirt (Yes, yes, yes)
I'm gonna laugh (I'm gonna laugh)
I'm gonna cry (I'm gonna cry)
Eat the bread, drink the wine
'Cause I'm finally, finally quenching
My thirst (Yeah)

You can't have a light without a little shadow, yeah
Always need a target for your bow and arrow
I want to be drenched in the rain of your heavenly love, oh, yeah, c'mon

Let the music (Let the music) play loud (Play loud)
Let it burst (Let it burst) through the clouds (Through the clouds)
And we all feel the heat
Of the sun, yeah
Yeah, let us sing, let us shout (Let us shout)
Let us all stand up proud
Let the old still believe that they're young, yeah

Sweet, sweet sound
Sounds so sweet (Oh, it's so sweet)
Sounds so sweet (So sweet)
Heaven, Heaven
Down, falling down (Falling down)
To this earth

I heard the sweet sounds of Heaven
Play me something, Stevie

I smell the sweet, sweet scents
Of Heaven
Coming down (Coming down), coming down (Coming down)
To the earth (From the earth)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yes, c'mon
Ooh, c'mon, c'mon, yeah, yeah

Hear the gods laughing from above
Of Heaven
Falling down, falling down to this earth
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Let me lay down and sleep
Heaven, Heaven
