I had to get away, find some time to pray
And assess my life, as good as it can be
It's sadly imcomplete with all this pain inside

All the waterfalls, and the streets of gold
And those angels I hear singing

I wanna place like this, that I can call my own (call my own)
I wanna place like this, where I will never be alone
I wanna place like this, where I can finally be free (finally be free)
I wanna place like this, made especially for me
Heaven is where I be, yeah
It's paradise, I know I wanna place like this
Where all your dreams come true
Do you wanna go?
[Verse 2]
There way upon a hill, that's where joy lives, with happiness and
Down milk and honey way lives a brighter day
Next to love overflowing
A picture perfect scene, so calm and sweet
Where paradise begins, life will never end
And those angels I hear singing
[Chorus 2]
I wanna place like this, that I can call my own
I wanna place like this, where I will never be alone
I wanna place like this, where I can finally be free
I wanna place like this, yeah this is where I wanna be

I wanna place like this, that I can call my own
I wanna place like this, where I will never be alone
I wanna place like this, where I can finally be free

I wanna place like this for you and me where we can be free
I can't wait to dance through the waterfalls
And skate through the streets of gold (oh yeah)
I wanna place like this for you and me where we can be free
Can't wait to sing, laugh and play here the bells ring (Let's go) free
