| And now heaven’s gate is open wide
|
| for you have put a light inside me
|
| I can see that heaven is near
|
| heaven is here
|
| It took so long to see it
|
| perhaps I looked too hard
|
| sometimes it was just easier
|
| to take another path
|
| the choices made it simple
|
| it was shallower but safe
|
| time and time again I chose
|
| to go the easy way
|
| but I believed it
|
| that someday somehow you would find me here
|
| I could feel it so near
|
| And now heaven’s gate is open wide
|
| for you have put a light inside me
|
| I can see that heaven is near
|
| you gave away a waiting heart an open gate
|
| a journey sent to celebrate
|
| and when we touch all heaven appears
|
| heaven is here
|
| The second that I saw you
|
| it all fell into place
|
| for I could read a thousand years
|
| of friendship in your face
|
| time that runs in circles
|
| and spins us round so fast
|
| but time has stopped for us right here
|
| to let us meet at last
|
| and I believed it
|
| I knew that it would feel like coming home
|
| I could feel it right here
|
| And now heaven’s gate is open wide
|
| for you have put a light inside me
|
| I can see that heaven is near
|
| you gave away a waiting heart an open gate
|
| a journey sent to celebrate
|
| and when we touch all heaven appears
|
| heaven is here
|
| Heaven’s gate is open wide
|
| I can take a step inside
|
| to find my dreams alive in your arms
|
| forget the doubt forget the fear
|
| for heaven is so very near
|
| it only takes one step and we’re there
|
| heaven is here
|
| heaven is here
|
| heaven is here |
