Rising and falling lighter than air
|
Silently calling no one is there
|
Oh, bird that is flying so high and
|
so free
|
Closer to heaven than you and me
|
|
Voices of strangers keep me from
|
sleep
|
Guardian angels watch over the
|
deep
|
A ship that is sailing way out to
|
the sea
|
Closer to heaven than you and me
|
|
Visions of rain fall out of blue
|
skies
|
Rivers of tears flow out of dry
|
eyes
|
Answer my question tell me no
|
lies
|
Is this the real world or a fool's
|
paradise?
|
|
Wind that is blowing so wild and
|
so free
|
Closer to heaven than you and me
|
|
Closer to heaven longing to be
|
Closer to heaven than you and me
|
|
Visions of rain fall out of blue
|
skies
|
Rivers of tears flow out of dry
|
eyes
|
Answer my question tell me no
|
lies
|
Is this the real world or a fool's
|
paradise?
|
|
Love that lies sleeping wakes in
|
the night
|
Secrets for keeping that won't
|
see the light
|
I look to the future and I hope it
|
will be
|
Closer to heaven than you and me
|
|
Closer to heaven longing to be
|
Closer to heaven than you and me
|
