From the recording STATE OF THE UNION
Lyrics
HEAVEN OR HELL
Two men died on Death Row last night.
You asked me if this was wrong or right.
I searched for an answer to keep you satisfied;
“No!” was all I replied.
“No!” was all I replied.
The mind can make a Hell of Heaven,
Or a Heaven of Hell.
It all depends on what you keep inside,
And what you choose to tell.
A mother-to-be made her choice last night,
To never let her son see the morning light.
Did the father or the fetus have the birthright?
“No!” was all I replied.
“No!” was all I replied.
The mind can make a Hell of Heaven,
Or a Heaven of Hell.
It all depends on what you keep inside,
And what you choose to tell.
Two men died in a bloody gunfight,
Somewhere in the ghetto last night.
You asked me if they were black or white.
“Yes!” was all I replied.
“Yes!” was all I replied.
The mind can make a Hell of Heaven,
Or a Heaven of Hell.
It all depends on what you keep inside,
And what you choose to tell.
