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 wanna 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 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
