Lynyrd Skynyrd - Hell or Heaven

Mama used to say to me

You can make your destiny

Keep your feet planted on the ground

You can always get it back

Make a castle from a one room shack

It's what you make of what you've found

Son you're gonna find out when you're older

There's always been the hand of God

Resting right there on your shoulder

Will it be hell or heaven on Earth

The choice is up to you

Look to the sky, the answer is clear

Are you gonna live life for all it's worth

Choose hell or heaven on Earth

If you live it right

There's nothing to fear

'Cause you'll find heaven right here

Saw a man the other day

Had it made in every way

Till his greed brought him down

He was blinded by the city lights

Now he shivers in the cold at night

Who will save the lifeguard

When he's about to drown

Will it be hell or heaven on Earth

The choice is up to you
Look to the sky, the answer is clear

Are you gonna live life for all it's worth

Choose hell or heaven on Earth

If you live it right

There's nothing to fear

'Cause you'll find heaven right here

You know you're gonna walk on through the fire

You know you're gonna feel the pain

You know you're gonna lose if you wanna win the game

And every time your heart is breakin'

And every time your faith is shaken

Just remember what mama said

Oh yeah

Hope when my time has come

I'm left enough to build upon

Ain't no one gonna say I didn't try

And here's why

Hell or heaven on Earth

The choice is up to you

Look to the sky, the answer is clear

Are you gonna live life for all it's worth

Choose hell or heaven on Earth

If you live it right

There's nothing to fear

'Cause you'll find heaven right here

You'll find heaven right here
