It's like trying to stay sober In a river of wine Or trying to find a silver lining where the Sun won't shine We all die for the diamonds, the gold and the pearls And hell, it's hard to find heaven in a devil's world Lord knows I've tried To right all the wrongs But the wrongs feel so right Lord, let me follow your word 'Cause it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world You can call me a sinner But I was born this way In the land of lost angels Where the darkness plays Every day a new demon Every night a new girl And it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world Lord knows I've tried To right all the wrongs But the wrongs feel so right Lord, let me follow your word 'Cause it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world Lord, won't you make it make sense now? What do you want from me now? If this is your plan Help me understand I've been searching for answers For so many years I believe there's a Jesus But I ain't found him down here So won't you send down a sign And show me which way to turn? 'Cause hell, it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world Lord knows I've tried (Lord knows I've tried) To right all the wrongs But the wrongs feel so right (wrongs feel so right) Lord, let me follow your word (follow) 'Cause it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world 'Cause it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world Why did you leave us In the devil's world?
