You can look to the stars in search of the answers
|
Look for God and life on distant planets
|
Have your faith in the ever after
|
While each of us holds inside the map to the labyrinth
|
And heaven's here on earth
|
|
We are the spirit the collective conscience
|
We create the pain and the suffering and the beauty in this world
|
|
Heaven's here on earth
|
In our faith in humankind
|
In our respect for what is earthly
|
In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding
|
|
I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise
|
Of ordinary people leading ordinary lives
|
Filled with love, compassion, forgiveness and sacrifice
|
|
Heaven's in our hearts
|
In our faith in humankind
|
In our respect for what is earthly
|
In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding
|
|
Look around
|
Believe in what you see
|
The kingdom is at hand
|
The promised land is at your feet
|
We can and will become what we aspire to be
|
|
If Heaven's here on earth
|
If we have faith in humankind
|
And respect for what is earthly
|
And an unfaltering belief that truth is divinity
|
And heaven's here on earth
|
|
I've seen spirits
|
I've met angels
|
Touched creations beautiful and wondrous
|
I've been places where I question all I think I know
|
But I believe, I believe, I believe this could be heaven
|
We are born inside the gates with the power to create life
|
And to take it away
|
The world is our temple
|
The world is our church
|
Heaven's here on earth
|
|
If we have faith in human kind
|
And respect for what is earthly
|
And an unfaltering belief
|
In peace and love and understanding
|
This could be heaven here on earth
|
