"I've touched creations beautiful and wondrous

I've been places where I question all I think I know 

But I believe this could be heaven.

 

We are born inside the gates

with the power to create life and to take it away

The world is our temple 

The world is our church 

Heaven's here on earth.

 

If we have faith in humankind

and respect for what is earthly

and an unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding

this could be heaven here on earth.

 

I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise

of ordinary people leading ordinary lives

filled with love, compassion, forgiveness and sacrifice 

Heaven's in our hearts.”
