Heaven hears and doesn't tell
Heaven knows your name
But dares not speak it
Heaven holds a special place
For those who love without condition;
Must be awfully lonesome there.

For those of us on Earth
We look to the sun and the stars
To lead us to a special place
That rests beyond the horizon.

At night we look to the moon
Coldly white and silent
Seems almost close enough to touch
Yet never quite,
It's all just an illusion
As we stand beneath the autumn wind
Longing for it anyhow -
I wonder.

The spirit seeks just what it needs
No matter how far or
How long it takes
And foolish thing,
It thinks that humans
Can play the game of fate and dreams
And understand its message.

Do you hear it in the whisper of the wind?
Do you sing along with it
As its music plays along the shore?
Will you dance with it, inside
As it waltzes on the waves?

How I wish we all could be as children
Free as the spirit takes us;
Hold a hand because it's there
Sing, because there's music somewhere
Dance because the moment needs it
Kiss because there's lips that want it
Laugh, for who knows why - let them wonder -
Cry, because a tears must fall
To wash away the pain.

Heaven lives in all of us
Sometimes,
I wonder why.
