Heaven Lyrics

I see a turning wheel
On a dusty track
Caught in the void and empty space
In between there and back
And the paradise of going somewhere
That's still so far away
Happy, boy you bet I am
Holding on to this smile for just as long as I can

Heaven, heaven

It's all bright in front
And it's all dark behind
Living for the now that's in between the bridges and the signs
And getting there is still a long, long way to go
While the others dream a wish
This is everything I officially need to know
Happy, boy you bet I am
Holding on to this smile for just as long as I can

Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
