Tin Roof

Maybe the streets are golden There's a table with plenty room Maybe we don't grow old And we got nothing to lose Maybe in the promise land There's a choir when you walk through Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof Maybe the sun don't set And the waters don't rise Maybe we don't forget How to laugh like a child Maybe in the promise land We're all made for what we do Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof Washing away Washing away my sorrows Giving me faith Giving me faith to follow a new tomorrow They tell me in the promise land There are mansions to choose Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof Maybe time stands still And the mountains just move Maybe we all have wings And there's only good news They say the living water Is the fountain of youth Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof Washing away Washing away my sorrows Giving me faith Giving me faith to follow a new tomorrow They tell me in the promise land There are mansions to choose Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof Washing away (washing away) Washing away my sorrows Giving me faith (giving me faith) Giving me faith to follow a new tomorrow Yeah, in the promise land There are mansions for me and you Oh, but I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof I pray Heaven is like rain on a tin roof
