Heaven
Eternal Hope: Embracing Love, Unity, and Redemption in Blessid Union of Souls' 'Heaven'
Lyrics
Well it's all right to feel like time is running down
Expressing that it's acceptable to feel like time is running out
And make amends with those who once have let you down
Suggesting the importance of reconciling with those who have disappointed in the past
To cry for children who have not yet had their chance
Expressing empathy and sadness for children who haven't had opportunities
To pray for foes in hopes that one day we'll join hands
Encouraging prayer for enemies, hoping for eventual unity
And live in Heaven
Desiring to live in Heaven, possibly metaphorical for a better place or state
Heaven forever Heaven forever
Repetition emphasizing the desire for an eternal, blissful state
Heaven forever Heaven forever
-Love's waiting past the stars
Love is depicted as existing beyond the stars, suggesting a transcendent quality
Tranquility is not that far
Believing that tranquility is not far away
Believe in Him he believes in you
Encouraging belief in a higher power that reciprocates belief
And I'll see you in Heaven
Expressing a hope to meet in Heaven, reinforcing the theme
I seen a messenger who was preaching on the street
Observing a messenger preaching, contrasting with materialistic individuals
He had nothing but the blisters on his feet
-And all those big shots with their Mercedes' and yachts
-There'll be a time fir the to let go what they got
-And I'll see them in Heaven (...maybe)
Suggesting that even those with wealth may eventually find themselves in Heaven
Heaven forever Heaven forever
Repetition emphasizing the desire for an eternal, blissful state
Heaven forever Heaven forever
-Do you feel it? Do you see?
Asking if the listener feels or sees a spiritual presence
There's no admission, Heaven's free
Emphasizing that entry to Heaven is free, perhaps alluding to spiritual grace
This is there world which we decided
Highlighting the importance of love for unity, and the consequences of its absence
Without the love we're all divided
-Love's waiting in the sky
Love is waiting in the sky, indicating a celestial connection
Tears for Him will purify
Suggesting that tears shed for a higher power can purify
The answer is in His eyes
Implying that the answer to life's questions lies in the eyes of a higher power
And He'll see you in Heaven
Expressing the hope of meeting in Heaven, reinforcing the overarching theme
Do you live for Heaven
Pondering if one lives or dies for Heaven, questioning commitment
Would you die for Heaven
-Then I'll see you in Heaven
Reiterating the hope of meeting in Heaven
