Week 9: Duet W/ Mandisa

[Jennifer Hudson]

This week I was partnered with the beautiful Mandisa! I was so excited and I think we work together well. We both came together and decided we should sing something that had a little bit of my Divaliciousness and her Gospel put together. We thought Heaven by Mary Mary was the perfect choice. Hope you love it!

Heaven By Mary Mary

I gotta get myself together, cuz i got someplace to go
And i'm praying when i get there, i see everyone i know
I wanna go to heaven, i wanna go to heaven, said i wanna go to heaven, i wanna go to heaven, do you wanna
Go?


Can you picture a place where there a smile on every face
And all the worry, all the stressing, all the pressure's been erased
Walking down a street that's golden,
Angles singing perfect weather
Everybody's got a mansion, y'all it just don't get no better
I wanna go

I gotta get myself together, cuz i got someplace to go
And i'm praying when i get there, i see everyone i know
I wanna go to heaven, i wanna go to heaven, said i wanna go to heaven, i wanna go to heaven, do you wanna
Go?


The only way i can explain it, is that in life we go through changes
Though we know it serves a purpose, still sometimes it just seems
Worthless
But this race that i am running, whether i run it fast or slow
Long as i just keep on running, i'm gonna make it there someday
I know

I gotta get myself together, cuz i got someplace to go
And i'm praying when i get there, i see everyone i know
I wanna go to heaven, i wanna go to heaven, said i wanna go to heaven, i wanna go to heaven, do you wanna
Go?


There's a place for us/one day i wanna see it
There's a place for us/and you may not believe it
But i'm just living my life/so i can live again
Everyday i'm getting ready/'cause i wanna make it in

I gotta get myself together, cuz i got someplace to go
And i'm praying when i get there, i see everyone i know
I wanna go to heaven, i wanna go to heaven, said i wanna go to heaven, i wanna go to heaven, do you wanna
Go?
