I was eight years old
When I decided to follow Jesus, yeah
I started down that road
Somebody told me that this path that leads to Heaven
Will not be the easy way
Well I found that to be true
But I also found, (also found)
I found out there's
No better place on earth
Than the road that leads to heaven
No other place I'd rather be, yeheh
No better place on earth
Than the road that leads to heaven
No better place to be, yea
Well I know this road
Has a final destination, oh
But I also know
That if we're only looking for the prize that's waiting
We'll miss so much along the way
Cause Jesus came to give us life in the here and now
(Here and now)
And to show us that there's
No better place on earth
Than the road that leads to heaven
No other place I'd rather be, yeheh
No better place on earth
Than the road that leads to heaven
No better place to be
I know this path we travel along
Is very straight and narrow
But I've looked down other roads along the way
And from all I've seen I can say without a doubt there's
No better place on earth
Than the road that leads to heaven
No other place I'd rather be, yeheh
No better place on earth
Than the road that leads to heaven
No better place to be
No better place on earth
Than the road that leads to heaven
No other place I'd rather be, yeheh
No better place on earth
Than the road that leads to heaven
No better place to be
No better place on earth
Than the road that leads to heaven
No other place I'd rather be, yeheh
No better place on earth
Than the road that leads to heaven
No better place to be
