Heaven
Discovering Paradise: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Sly and The Man's 'Heaven'
Lyrics
She's asking me questions every day
She's questioning me daily
How come he doesn't help the lost ones
Why doesn't he assist those who are lost
when he sees their pain
When he witnesses their suffering
So I tell her sometimes God's asleep
I explain that sometimes God is inactive
And until he wakes up to guide us
Until he awakens to lead us
half the world shall weep
Half the world will sorrow
There's a heaven
There is a heaven
If you feel it
If you sense it
Then you know its true
Then you know it's real
You're too young to be stuck inside of blue
You're too young to be trapped in sadness
every evening before we say goodnight
Every night before bidding farewell
She's reading the book of wisdom
She's studying the book of wisdom
In the mellow light
In the gentle light
And I think she knows the world is bleeding
And I believe she recognizes the world is suffering
I can tell from her eyes
I can see it in her eyes
When your lonely and broken hearted
When you're lonely and heartbroken
He'll be by your side
He will be by your side
There's a heaven
There is a heaven
If you feel it
If you sense it
Then you know its true
Then you know it's real
You're too young to be stuck inside of blue
You're too young to be trapped in sadness
And I wish I could build a wall
And I wish I could create a barrier
a fortress for my love
A stronghold for my love
But no matter how strong
But no matter how sturdy
Its not enough
It's never sufficient
There's a heaven
There is a heaven
If you feel it
If you sense it
Then you know its true
Then you know it's real
You're too young to be stuck inside of blue
You're too young to be trapped in sadness
