lyrics
I was speaking with my friend
In his hospital bed
Waiting for a cure to fly in on a plane
And he told me this:
"Half this battle is
Having friends that love and help you on the way
We're not here to do this alone
We've got people pushing us along
If Heaven's a path, then all I know
Yeah, all I know is that
Ooh, Heaven ain't a lonely road
Ooh, Heaven ain't a lonely road"
He said, "It's time like this
When the real power shows
In all the friendships that you've made
Now all the love I feel
More than I could have known
I think that now I could face any type of weather
And I, I've had time to reflect
On all the friends I've had and choices that I've made
And I do not regret
A thing because I gave them all I had
Ooh, Heaven ain't a lonely road
Ooh, Heaven ain't a lonely road"
He said: "I know you've got something you're waiting to become
And that belongs to you alone
But don't forget about the friends by your side
You'll never reach that place if you try to get there on your own
Now, you and me, we always rode together
And you know, it's made each of us better
I want you to remember the people you can lean on
You've got potential, man, so just dream on, dream on.
And don't dwell too long or think too much
On all the loneliness you feel along the way
I will give you my touch"
Ooh, Heaven ain't a lonely road
Ooh, Heaven ain't a lonely road
Ooh, Heaven ain't a lonely road
Ooh, Heaven ain't a lonely road
Ooh, Heaven ain't a lonely road
