I can see what you're looking to find
  in the smile on my face
  in my peace of mind
  in my state of grace
  I send what I can
  to the man from the ministry
  he's a part of heaven's plan
  and he talks to me
  
  now I send what I can to the man
  with the diamond ring
  he's a part of heaven's plan
  and he sure can sing
  now it's all I can afford
  but the lord has sent me eternity
  it's to save the little children
  in a poor country
  
  I got my ticket to heaven
  and everlasting life
  I got a ride all the way to paradise
  I got my ticket to heaven
  and everlasting life
  all the way to paradise
  
  now there's nothing left for luxuries
  nothing left to pay my heating bill
  but the good lord will provide
  I know he will
  so send what you can
  to the man with the diamond ring
  they're tuning in across the land
  to hear him sing
  
  I got my ticket to heaven
  and everlasting life
  I got a ride all the way to paradise
  I got my ticket to heaven
  and everlasting life
  all the way to paradise
