Intro:
It's a lot of stress goin' on around...
A lot of troubles we're facin' everyday... you know... yeah I know how it is... 'cause heaven ain't hard to find... I know sometimes you just feel like... givin' up... and throwin' in the towel but uh... keep the faith homie... it gets better than this... and heaven ain't hard 2 find...
Verse 1:
They tell me life is just a struggle, bringin' nothin' but trouble
and nobody wants to hear that there's a heaven up above you. But if you give me a minute, I ain't spittin' this just to bug you; there's a message that I'm spreadin', you see God still loves you. Though you don't have to take my word for it; you could ignore it but I'm tellin' you I'm livin' in heaven and I adore it. Stories written about places that we go when we die, impatient people losing faith, others waiting wondering why nothin' ever works out. They don't understand it 'cause they're blind. There's a heaven on this planet and it ain't hard to find. All you got to do is open your eyes and let your mind see that behind all this sufferin' there is peace and I ain't lyin'. I'm just tryin' to make it clear to you... So when you feel like givin' up you could remember all the people who are dear to you. Near to you, though it may appear to be far in time, keep the faith.. 'cause heaven ain't hard to find.
Chorus:
Heaven... ain't hard to find... (hard to find...)
Though we take the long road, we're staying strong Lord... 'cause Heaven... is what's inside... (what's inside...) So we hold our heads high... and carry on, 'cause heaven ain't hard to find...
Verse: 2
Heaven is hearin' 'I love you' every mornin' and every night.
Heaven is feelin' that someone adores you in heaven's light. Heaven is havin' all the strings at fingers for you to pull. Heaven is different for everyone, every heaven's beautiful. And if heaven is really unbelievable, then tell me this: How come we're livin' in a world where miracles can still exist? How can someone who just turned a hundred years old learn how to read? How can a Country only knowin' war finally be showin' peace? How can one man with one leg run 'round the world with persistence? How can a people be set free usin' nonviolent resistance? How can a rapper become famous from his quest for givin' more? How can a baby born in a stable become the risen Lord! I'll tell you how, it's possible 'cause heaven's around you. It's overcoming obstacles with friends that surround you and it's knowing that there's somebody out there who needs you. It's given to you so don't bite the hand that feeds you and please do not give up no matter how much it bleeds you. You need to try to see just how much your life means to the world. And don't get caught up in what your enemies do. You can take it from me, you see I got enemies too. And at least two reasons why every enemy is better to be a friend instead of endin' it in jealousy. The first is just to get some peace of mind, and secondly to let you see that heaven ain't hard to find.
(Chorus)
Verse: 3
Heaven is rememberin' your first kiss, your first love,
your first friend, the first wish you made when prayin' up above that somebody lookin' down on us, someone you could trust who'd always be around for you before you felt like givin' up. And livin' rough was becomin' an everyday thang, before you gave in to the people on the corner slang. There is a way out, and I know it may be hard to see but if you feel like you got nobody then call on me. Cause heaven's real so don't think it's just a fantasy. Not just your friend, I'm your brother, we're all my family. So don't give up fightin' against this insanity, 'cause that's the one thing that I just can't stand to see. So stand with me! Stand against the dying of the light, instead of tryin' not to fight, 'cause people cryin' every night for their forgiveness. It isn't a frivolous life that we're livin' in. People were sinnin' and all of a sudden it seems that we're winnin' from givin' up somethin' to the community, the hood, the unity of the world, the purity of the boy when he ain't abusin' on the girl. Opportunity is at your door. What you think I'm rappin' for? If everything good happens for a reason, it should happen more. So after all is over just remember this song, when you're feelin' low and everything you're lovin' is gone. From your brother 'be strong' and think about the better times. Remember one more thing: Heaven ain't hard 2 find.
(Chorus)
Outro:
Look.. I know there's a lot of bad stuff goin' on around us,
but that shouldn't stop us from seeing all the beautiful good things that we still have. If we only concentrate on the negative aspects of life, we'll forget about the positive things that make us happy and we won't be seein' any smiles. This song was written to open up our eyes to the beauty that surrounds us. To let everyone know that it ain't all bad, and there's still hope, and not to take the little things for granted. Heaven ain't hard 2 find. sing it with me...
