Leaving heaven

Well, it´s been real nice living way up here
In paradise, over the atmosphere
But I can´t stay long, gotta make my way
I´m leaving Heaven today
You see the world is dark and it needs a light
I´m gonna hang a star in the eastern sky
So everybody´s gonna know where I touch down
I´m leaving Heaven right now
I´m gonna walk around that broken Earth
Trading in these streets of gold
So if you ever wonder how much you´re worth
You should know
That you´re the reason why I´m leaving Heaven
Ain´t gonna be no kingdom, ain´t gonna be no crown
Just a little old manger, in a little old town
But it´ll do just fine for this humble King
I´m leaving Heaven let all the angels sing
I´m gonna walk around that broken Earth
Trading in these streets of gold
So if you ever wonder how much you´re worth
You should know
You´re the reason why I´m leaving Heaven
And when my time comes to an end
I´ll lay down my life like a truest friend
And when I get back home, I´m gonna make some room
So, don´t you worry, ‘cause I´m coming back for you
And you will say goodbye to that broken Earth
You´re gonna walk on streets of gold
And if you ever wonder what my love is worth
Well you should know
That I´m the reason you´ll be seeing Heaven
Oh, you´re the reason why I´m leaving Heaven
I´m leaving Heaven
In paradise, over the atmosphere
But I can´t stay long, gotta make my way
I´m leaving Heaven today
You see the world is dark and it needs a light
I´m gonna hang a star in the eastern sky
So everybody´s gonna know where I touch down
I´m leaving Heaven right now
I´m gonna walk around that broken Earth
Trading in these streets of gold
So if you ever wonder how much you´re worth
You should know
That you´re the reason why I´m leaving Heaven
Ain´t gonna be no kingdom, ain´t gonna be no crown
Just a little old manger, in a little old town
But it´ll do just fine for this humble King
I´m leaving Heaven let all the angels sing
I´m gonna walk around that broken Earth
Trading in these streets of gold
So if you ever wonder how much you´re worth
You should know
You´re the reason why I´m leaving Heaven
And when my time comes to an end
I´ll lay down my life like a truest friend
And when I get back home, I´m gonna make some room
So, don´t you worry, ‘cause I´m coming back for you
And you will say goodbye to that broken Earth
You´re gonna walk on streets of gold
And if you ever wonder what my love is worth
Well you should know
That I´m the reason you´ll be seeing Heaven
Oh, you´re the reason why I´m leaving Heaven
I´m leaving Heaven
