The homeless is still homeless
the poor is still poor
yet we find billions of dollars
to fund senseless war.
And yes, we're fighting terrorism
what about the quiet racism
divided among ourselves
somebody's crying for help.
Heaven is listening (listening)
heaven is watching (watching)
heaven knows (oh oh oh oh ooooohs)
And they may not play this on the radio
'cause the devil don't want you to know
if we don't stop the hypocrisy
the nation will lose it's soul.
They'd rather play music about money and sex
like we don't have no intellect.
somebody need to show some respect
'cause God ain't through with us yet.
Heaven is listening (listening)
heaven is watching (watching)
heaven knows (oh oh oh oh ooooohs)
(Heaven knows), heaven knows the preachers that's not preachin'
(Heaven knows) and heaven knows the teachers that's not teachin'
(oh oh oh oh) heaven knows the politicians that's stealing, Oh
(Heaven knows) heaven knows the ones that are out there killing
(Oh heaven knows) that the world needs a revival
(Heaven knows) that we've walked away from the Bible, Oh Oh
(oh oh oh oh) heaven knows that the world needs healing, Oh
(Heaven knows) that somewhere we've lost our feelings, Oh
Heaven is listening (listening)
heaven is watching (watching)
heaven knows (knows)
Heaven is listening (listening)
heaven is watching (watching)
mmmm, heaven knows
Oh oh oh oh
Heaven is listening
heaven is watching
Heaven knows
