Heavenly Light is Shining On Me

Some have mothers who are gone are gone
Some have mothers who are gone are gone
Way up yonder in that new bright world
Oh the heaven light is shining on me

Chorus
Oh the heaven light is shining (yes it's) shining on me
Oh the heaven light is shining (yes it's) shining on me
Way up yonder in that new bright world
Oh the heaven light is shining on me

Some have fathers,... brothers,... children,... (etc.)
