You Make Your Own Heaven and Hell Right Here on Earth (album version)

Born into this world a baby,
Your mind is clear as the air.
Time passes.
You learn to walk and talk.
Time passes.
You learn right from wrong.
Time passes.
You leave home seeking a life of your own.
I'm telling you the natural facts
For what it's worth.
Listen to me, people,
You make your own heaven and hell right here on earth.
On earth, on earth, on earth...
Time passes and your values change.
Life becomes a strange and confusing game.
Suddenly you want the finer things in life,
But you find it takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice.
Now you're standing at the crossroads of life
To satisfy your personal wants.
Will you do wrong or will you do right?
Well, one thing you must admit
And you know it's true.
The final decision is still up to you.
I'm telling you the natural facts
For what it's worth.
Listen to me, people,
You make your own heaven and hell right here on earth.
Let me tell you one more time.
I'm telling you the natural facts
For what it's worth.
You make your own heaven and hell right here on earth.
Listen, people,
Life is a giant invisible scale with two sides, good and bad.
You and your beliefs are the weights.
The things you do each day determine the balance.
Your conscience is a flawless judge and jury.
The only question is what you want.
I'm telling you the natural facts
For what it's worth.
Listen to me, people,
You make your own heaven and hell right here on earth.
Let me tell you one more time.
I'm telling you the natural facts
For what it's worth.
You make your own heaven and hell right here on earth.
Listen, people,
I'm telling you the natural facts
For what it's worth.
You make your own heaven and hell right here on earth.
