Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Picture yourself by a rocket
Picture yourself in a glittering silver suit
Picture yourself getting on it
Saluting the news crews, you're the new recruit
[Verse 2]
Do you remember the numbers
Hung on the door of the house where you grew up?
Do you remember the colors
Tied round the handles of last year's FA cup?
[Verse 3]
Meanwhile up in Heaven
They're waiting for you
They're waiting for you
And if you believe them
You will see them when you
[Verse 4]
Meanwhile up in Heaven
They're waiting for you
They're waiting for you
And if you believe them
You will see them when you
Are ready to
[Verse 5]
Guided by love and a flashlight
Led by consuming desire for a good idea
The light in the clock on the dashboard
Has not worked in years but I know that it's still there
[Verse 6]
Meanwhile up in Heaven
They're waiting for you
They're waiting for you
And if you believe them
You will see them when you
[Verse 7]
Meanwhile up in Heaven
They're waiting for you
They're waiting for you
And if you believe them
You will see them when you
Are ready to
[Verse 8]
And your mind is the key
It is the key that sets you free
Your mind is the key
It is the key that sets you free
[Verse 9]
Meanwhile up in Heaven
They're waiting for you
They're waiting for you
And if you believe them
You will see them when you
Are ready to
[Verse 10]
Meanwhile up in Heaven
They're waiting for you
They're waiting for you
And if you believe them
You will see them when you
Are ready to
[Verse 11]
Meanwhile up in Heaven
They're waiting for you
They're waiting for you
Are ready to
And if you believe them
You will see them (Waiting for you)
When you (Waiting for you)
Are ready to
[Verse 12]
Meanwhile up in Heaven
They're waiting for you
They're waiting for you
Are ready to
And if you believe them
You will see them (Waiting for you)
When you (Waiting for you)
Are ready to
