Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away

They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away

And just the pure at heart will walk her righteous streets someday

They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away

But if there is a God, we need Him now

";Where is your God";

That's what my friends ask me

And I say it's taken Him so long

'Cause we've got so far to come...

Tell me people

Why can't they say that hate is 10 zillion light years away

Why can't the light of good shine God's love in every soul

Why must my color black make me a lesser man

I thought this world was made for every man

He loves us all, that's what my God tells me

And I say it's taken Him so long

'Cause we've got so far to come...

But in my heart I can feel it, yeah,

Feel His spirit wow oh woo...

Feel it, yeah, feel His spirit...

I... can't say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away

But if so let all be pure at heart

Just to walk her righteous streets I pray

Let God's love shine within to save our evil souls

For those who don't believe will never see the light

";Where is my God"; - He lives inside of me

And I say it's taken Him so long

'Cause we've got so far to come...

No people, ";where is your God?";

Inside please let Him be

And I say it's taken Him so long

'Cause we've got so far to come...

But if you open your heart you can feel it yeah yeah

Feel His spirit, yeah

Feel it, feel His spirit, wow oh wow...

Feel it, you can feel His spirit

I opened my heart one morning and

I sho nuff could feel it yeah yeah

Feel His spirit yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit

You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit

About this Song

Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away by Stevie Wonder is a soulful exploration of faith, hope, and the struggles of humanity. Wonder questions why, despite the presence of a higher power or divine being, there is still so much suffering and injustice in the world. The song conveys a longing for Heaven and a better world, reflecting on the distance—both literal and metaphorical—that seems to separate us from divine perfection. Key themes include spiritual faith, the search for hope amidst hardship, and the yearning for a fair and just world. A poignant moment in the song is when Wonder reflects on the love and spiritual presence that, despite the distance, feel so near, suggesting that divinity is present in love and human connection.
