Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In a world of super heros
In a world of weak and strong
In a sea of have and have nots
I've survived the raging storm
And I pray for a world where we all can be free
It's a heavenly vision, it's a garden I see
That the joy that graced the heart of loving me
[Verse 2]
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
[Verse 3]
I have faith, I have hope and I trust in the day
When the music from heaven will show us the way
[Verse 4]
It's a garden of music, it's a garden of love
And we all are His children, sharing gifts from above
[Verse 5]
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven
When you've been blessed, pass it on, pass it on
[Verse 6]
Why don't you, why don't you pass it on?
And on, and on, and on, when you've been blessed
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven (That's what it feels like)
When you've been blessed (Blessed), feels like heaven, heaven
You know that, you've been by my side, no more pain, nothing but joy, joy, joy
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven (No more sickness, no more strife)
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
Nothing but love, love, love and everybody we will get together and say
(Heaven) Say
(Heaven) Say
(Heaven) That's what it feels like when you've been blessed
I'm blessed (Heaven), yes, I am (Heaven)
I talked to my mother (Heaven), my father, my sisters (Heaven)
They said, "Girl, you are blessed (Heaven), so pass it on (Heaven), pass it on, don't keep it to yourself" (Heaven)
We're not talking about prayer (Heaven), we're talking about yourself, not silver not gold (Heaven)
Something, somewhere (Heaven), you've got to pass it on
