One Sunday morning after church The preacher was shaking hands A little boy walked up and said "Can I please talk to you, preacher man?" He said, "My daddy left my mama and me And it's been a couple years And my mama's boyfriend don't like me much Especially after a couple of beers Sometimes when he hits me and I close my eyes real tight And I wish that place you always talk about Was real with all my might" Is Heaven real? 'Cause I can't wait to go (I can't wait to go) I can't wait to know how Heaven feels (How Heaven feels) Is there a place Where there's no more pain or dyin'? (No more pain or dyin') No more need for cryin' 'cause I can't wait ('Cause I can't wait) Is Heaven a real place? And well, the preacher man didn't know what to say And before the little boy turned and walked away The preacher said, "Son, would you like to pray?" Right then the little boy hit his knees And he cried out, "Lord, help me please 'Cause I don't know how much more pain I can take" And he looked up with them tears in his eyes And he said, "Preacher man, I don't wanna die But I just wanna know if there's a better place" Is Heaven real? 'Cause I can't wait to go (I can't wait to go) I can't wait to know how Heaven feels (How Heaven feels) Is there a place Where there's no more pain or dyin'? (No more pain or dyin') No more need for cryin' 'cause I can't wait ('Cause I can't wait) Is Heaven a real place? Later on past midnight The preacher man got a call Little boy's in a hospital doin' bad And the mama's boyfriend's runnin' from the law When the preacher walked in the boy's hospital room The little boy whispered, "Can you see him too? There's an angel standin' right beside you, preacher man" Now I know Heaven's real And I can't wait to get there (I can't wait to get there) I can't wait to know how Heaven feels (How Heaven feels) I'm going to a place Where there's no more pain or dyin' (No more pain or dyin') Preacher man, why you cryin'? 'Cause I can't wait ('Cause I can't wait) 'Cause Heaven's a real place Now I know Heaven's a real place Heaven's a real place
