Moby & Inyang Bassey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna leave this all
Reach off to heaven
Lights flying 'cross my eyes
Oh it seems like
This could be mine
It's time I do the right thing
Oh baby, baby, gonna do the right thing
One day I know
Gonna leave this all alone
Gonna leave this
Leave this all for heaven
One day I know
Gonna leave this all alone
Gonna leave this
Leave this all for heaven
Oh no
No life to live
Gonna leave this
Leave this all for heaven
One day I know
Gonna leave it all and go
Gonna leave this
Leave this all for heaven
Oh Lord, save me,
I wanna do the right thing
Oh it's time
Oh Lord, save me
I wanna do the right thing
Oh it's time
Oh Lord, save me,
I wanna do the right thing
Oh it's time
Oh Lord, save me,
I wanna do the right thing
I wanna do the right thing
Oh-oh, it's time
I wanna do the right thing
Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm
