I can see what you´re looking to find
in the smile on my face
in my peace of mind
in my state of grace
I send what I can
to the man from the ministry
he´s a part of heaven´s plan
and he talks to me

now I send what I can to the man
with the diamond ring
he´s a part of heaven´s plan
and he sure can sing
now it´s all I can afford
but the lord has sent me eternity
it´s to save the little children
in a poor country

I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
I got a ride all the way to paradise
I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
all the way to paradise

now there´s nothing left for luxuries
nothing left to pay my heating bill
but the good lord will provide
I know he will
so send what you can
to the man with the diamond ring
they´re tuning in across the land
to hear him sing

I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
I got a ride all the way to paradise
I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
all the way to paradise
