Heavens Here on Earth Lyrics by Tracy Chapman

Heavens Here on Earth Lyrics

    You can look to the stars in search of the answers
    Look for God and life on distant planets
    Have your faith in the ever after
    While each of us holds inside the map to the labyrinth
    And heaven's here on earth

    We are the spirit the collective conscience
    We create the pain and the suffering and the beauty in this world

    Heaven's here on earth
    In our faith in humankind
    In our respect for what is earthly
    In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding

    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
    In our faith in humankind
    In our respect for what is earthly
    In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding

    Look around
    Believe in what you see
    The kingdom is at hand
    The promised land is at your feet
    We can and will become what we aspire to be

    If Heaven's here on earth
    If we have faith in humankind
    And respect for what is earthly
    And an unfaltering belief that truth is divinity
    And heaven's here on earth

    I've seen spirits
    I've met angels
    I've touched creations beautiful and wondrous
    I've been places where I question all I think I know
    But I believe, I believe, 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
    Heaven's in our heart
