If life is a river
And your heart is a boat
I'm just like a water
Baby, baby, born to float
And if life is a wild wind
That blows way on high
And your heart is Amelia
Dying to fly
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

And if life is a bar room
In which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers
On the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn
Of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men
In self addressed crates

In your eyes faint
As the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its ways
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed
Of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave
To man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger
For justice and right
Then your heart is a pure flame
Of man's constant night

In your eyes faint
As the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its ways
And heaven has its ways
When all will harmonise
And know what's in our hearts
The dream will realise

Heaven knows
No frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows
No frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
