In a world
Of superheros
In a world
Of weak and strong
In a sea of have and have nots
I've survived the raging storm
And I pray for a world
Where we all can be free
It's a heavenly vision
It's a garden I see
Nothing but joy
Nothing but peace
Let it be
When you've been blessed
Feels like heaven
Heaven
When you've been blessed
Feels like Heaven
Heaven
I have faith
I have hope
And I trust in the day
When the music
From Heaven
Will show us the way
It's a garden of music
It's a garden of love
And we all are His children
Sharing gifts from above
When you've been blessed
Feels like Heaven
Heaven
When you've been blessed
Feels like Heaven
Heaven
When you've been blessed
Feels like Heaven
Heaven
When you've been blessed
Pass it on
Pass it on
Why don't you?
Why don't you?
Pass it on
And on
And on
And on
When you've been blessed
That's what it feels like
Yes
There'll be no more sorrow
No more pain
Nothing but joy, joy, joy
No more sickness
No more strife
Nothing but love, love, love
And everybody we will get together and say
(Heaven) Say 
(Heaven) Say
That's what it feels like 
When you've been blessed
I'm blessed
Yes, I am
I talked to my mother
My father
My sistas
And they said, girl, you are blessed
So pass it on
Pass it on
Don't keep it to yourself
We're not talking about prayer
Talking about yourself
Not silver or gold
Something
Somewhere
You've got to pass it on
