This boy is going to Heaven,
This boy is going to Heaven.

Not for the world, not on your life,
I give all I have, and I didn't think twice, yeah.

Heaven forbid that I change my ways,
Heaven forbid that somehow it's different today.

This boy,
This boy.

I'll be damned,
So perish the thought if I compromised and didn't follow my heart, yeah.

Heaven forbid that I'd change my ways,
Heaven forbid that somehow it's different today.
Heaven forbid the sun won't rise one more time,
Heaven forbid the son won't rise.

"You have my mind, boy," is what I heard,
"Your heart's like mine, boy," was his word,
"You have my mind, boy, your heart's like mine," that's what I heard, those were the words.

Didn't eat; I couldn't sleep,
Wasn't able to leave my knees,
I could hear a still, small voice,
They way I see it, I have no choice.

This boy is going to Heaven,
This boy is going to Heaven.

Not for the world, not on your life,
I give all I have, and I...I didn't think twice, yeah.

Heaven forbid that I'd change my ways,
Heaven forbid that somehow it's different today.
Heaven forbid the sun won't rise one more time,
Heaven forbid the son won't rise.
