Group 1 Crew - Heaven Lyrics
Lyrics
I can feel heaven falling down
All around me
I can feel heaven falling down
All around me
I can feel he-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-
I can fell he-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-
Drop it
I be on that new stuff
That thing that you ain't heard of
It's out this world exclusive
Like heaven movin' through us
It's supersonic tech mode
And don't confuse with techno
While they be on the Depeche Mode
I stay up in the flash mode
Shimmy shimmy
Like the Holy Ghost up in your body
We can get it started
The sky is falling so tell somebody
We can push this harder
And take it take it further
Til all my people caught up
Yeah, I can feel it
I can feel heaven falling down
All around me
I can feel heaven falling down
All around me
I can feel he-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-
I can fell he-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-
Drop it
Heaven my parameter
This thing give me stamina
See that futuristic knack knack
? the camera
Feel so good I'm floating
To where you put your hope in
I see the gates, they open
So do it like my motion
Shimmy shimmy
Like the Holy Ghost up in your body
We can get it started
The sky is falling so tell somebody
We can push this harder
And take it take it further
Til all my people caught up
Yeah, I can feel it
I can feel heaven falling down
All around me
I can feel heaven falling down
All around me
I can feel he-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-
I can fell he-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-
Drop it
I can feel, I can feel
I can feel, I can feel
Heaven falling

Group 1 Crew - Heaven (Official Music Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Group 1 Crew released the official music video for their song "Heaven" on March 25, 2015, offering the world a vibrant, hopeful declaration rooted deeply in Christian eschatology. This song isn't merely a musical piece; it’s a vibrant tapestry woven with the threads of future promise, designed to uplift and ground believers in the hope that transcends earthly struggles. Its central theme revolves around the Christian anticipation of eternity – the promised dwelling place with God where suffering ceases and joy is perfected, directly addressing the yearning for a life beyond the limitations and pain of this present world.
The message conveyed is one of profound assurance and longing for the culmination of faith. The song paints a picture of Heaven not as a distant, abstract concept, but as the ultimate destination and the true home for those who have placed their trust in Christ. It speaks to the trials faced in daily life – the heartaches, the battles, the weariness – and positions the hope of Heaven as the sustaining power and motivation to persevere. This echoes the biblical teaching that our citizenship is in Heaven (Philippians 3:20), and that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed (Romans 8:18). The song serves as a musical reminder that the temporary struggles we endure are set against the backdrop of an eternal weight of glory that awaits us (2 Corinthians 4:17).
Musically and lyrically, "Heaven" employs an energetic and positive approach that aligns with the hopeful nature of its subject matter. Group 1 Crew, known for their dynamic hip-hop style infused with faith, crafts a soundscape that feels both celebratory and grounded in truth. The rhythmic drive and melodic elements build a sense of anticipation and joyful expectation, reflecting the excitement inherent in the thought of finally being home and in God's presence. This aligns with the scriptural portrayal of Heaven as a place of unending worship, peace, and restoration. The lyrics, while not quoted here extensively, communicate a deep desire for the renewed creation described in Revelation 21, where God makes all things new, wiping away every tear and eliminating death, mourning, crying, and pain. The song effectively captures the biblical vision of believers dwelling with God, who will be their God, and they will be His people (Revelation 21:3).
Furthermore, "Heaven" provides a powerful counter-narrative to the often discouraging realities of life. It encourages a shift in perspective, urging those who hear it to fix their eyes not on what is seen, which is temporary, but on what is unseen, which is eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18). The song implicitly references the promise that in Heaven, we will see God face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12) and be fully known as we are fully known. This personal intimacy with the Creator is a core part of the hope offered in Scripture and beautifully reflected in the song's yearning. It calls to mind the words of Jesus promising to prepare a place for His followers, assuring them He will come back to take them to be with Him, so that they may be where He is (John 14:2-3). Ultimately, "Heaven" by Group 1 Crew functions as more than just music; it is a faith-filled declaration, a source of encouragement, and a resonant reminder of the glorious future promised to believers, firmly rooted in the eternal truths of God's Word and designed to inspire steadfast hope in the journey of faith.
