Heaven
Discovering Heaven's Embrace: A Musical Journey of Love and Home
Lyrics
I could climb up to the top of a moutain
I could achieve great heights in life, like climbing a mountain.
I could fly a plane as high as it could go
Even flying a plane to its maximum altitude won't bring me closer to Heaven.
But still I'd be no closer to Heaven
True proximity to Heaven is not attained through physical accomplishments.
I'll have to wait until it's time to go home
Heaven is a destination for the afterlife, to be reached when it's time to pass away.
I stood upon the edge of the Grand Canyon
Standing at the Grand Canyon is awe-inspiring, a miraculous sight.
And yes, it is a miracle to see
Acknowledges the Grand Canyon's beauty as a wonder of nature.
But even though it's hard to imagine
Despite the Grand Canyon's grandeur, there's a place more beautiful personally.
There is a place more beautiful to me
Expresses a subjective view of beauty, hinting at a special personal connection.
And I thank God that there's a Heaven
Gratitude for the existence of Heaven as a destination after life's journey.
A place to go when my days are through
Heaven is a comforting place to go after life's experiences conclude.
I do not have to go far to get there, not yet
The speaker doesn't have to travel far to reach Heaven, as it's with a loved one.
Cause Heaven is at home with you
Heaven is metaphorically described as being at home with a significant other.
After all the years that we have been together
Reflection on the enduring years spent together with a loved one.
I don't have to ask what love is worth
There's no need to question the value of love when close to a loved one.
Cause when I hold you close there is no question
The speaker finds Heaven on Earth when holding their loved one close.
That Heaven really can be found on Earth
Confirms that true heavenly joy can be experienced in earthly relationships.
And I thank God that there's a Heaven
Repeated gratitude for the existence of Heaven as a comforting place.
A place to go when my days are through
Reiterates the concept of Heaven as a destination after life's journey concludes.
I do not have to go far to get there, not yet
Emphasizes the closeness of Heaven, especially when with a loved one.
Cause Heaven is at home with you
Confirms the metaphor that Heaven is found in the comfort of home with a loved one.
My Heaven is at home with you
Reaffirms that the speaker's personal concept of Heaven is being at home with a loved one.
