Tracy Chapman - Heaven's Here On Earth Lyrics
You can look to the stars in search of the answersLook for God and life on distant planetsHave your faith in the ever afterWhile each of us holds inside the map to the labyrinthAnd heavens here on earthWe are the spirit the collective conscienceWe create the pain and the suffering and the beauty in this worldHeavens here on earthIn our faith in humankindIn our respect for what is earthlyIn our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understandingIve seen and met angels wearing the disguiseOf ordinary people leading ordinary livesFilled with love, compassion, forgiveness and sacrificeHeavens in our heartsIn our faith in humankindIn our respect for what is earthlyIn our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understandingLook aroundBelieve in what you seeThe kingdom is at handThe promised land is at your feetWe can and will become what we aspire to beIf heavens here on earthIf we have faith in humankindAnd respect for what is earthlyAnd an unfaltering belief that truth is divinityAnd heavens here on earthIve seen spiritsIve met angelsIve touched creations beautiful and wondrousIve been places where I question all I think I knowBut I believe, I believe, I believe this could be heavenWe are born inside the gates with the power to create lifeAnd to take it awayThe world is our templeThe world is our churchHeavens here on earthIf we have faith in humankindAnd respect for what is earthlyAnd an unfaltering beliefIn peace and love and understandingThis could be heaven here on earthHeavens in our heart
