Somewhere In Heaven
Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In heaven
There is a place
Waiting for you and me
He made a promise
Gave every drop of Blood
Died on the cross
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Somewhere, Somewhere
In Heaven
There's a place
Waiting, waiting for you and me
He made a promise
Gave every drop of Blood
And died on the cross
So we'd be free.
Somewhere, Somewhere
In Heaven
There is a place
Waiting, waiting for you and me
He made a promise
When He gave every drop of His blood
Died on the cross
So we'd be free.
