Rising and falling lighter then air
Silently calling no one is there
Oh, bird that is flying so high and so free
Closer to heaven then you and me
Voices of strangers keep me from sleep
Guardian angels watch over the deep
Closer to heaven then you and me
Visions of rain fall out of blue skies
Rivers of tears fall out of dry eyes
Answer my question, tell me no lies
Is the real world or a fool's paradise?
Wind that is blowing so wild and so free
Closer to heaven than you and me
Closer to heaven longing to be
Closer to heaven then you and me
Visions of rain fall out of blue skies...
Love that lies sleeping wakes in the night
Secrets of keeping that won't see the light
I look to the future and i hope it will be
Closer to heaven than you and me
Closer to heaven longing to be
Closer to heaven than you and me
