There's a heaven and I've seen it.
It looks different, so different than what you think.
There's a heaven and I've seen it.
City of stone on the shores of blue and green.
There's a heaven and I've seen it
There's a heaven and I've seen it
And I stepped on the grass,
and I walked on the moss.
I've felt cold serene water on my hands and on my toes.
And I climbed all the mountains,
and I ran on the shores.
And if there's happiness inside me, then this is the source.
There's a heaven and I've seen it.
(I’ve seen it in my mind)
There's a heaven and I feel it.
(I feel it in my heart)
There's a heaven hidden deep in my mind,
(It must be uncovered)
I will go there and leave the hell far behind.
When you can't find a way
in the darkness of days,
when you’re broke and beaten down and nothing seems to make sense,
you can go south or west,
or you can end up in north.
It doesn't matter where you go as long as you’re going forth.
And let me tell you one thing,
what is my hell isn't yours.
And let me tell you one thing,
it's my heaven, it's not yours.
Only when you realize,
what it is, that drags you down,
only then your own heaven
can be seen and can be found.
