Ralph Van Manen - No Frontiers lyrics

rate me

If life is a river and your heart is a boat

And just like a water 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 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 it’s grip,

And heaven has it’s way

Heaven know no frontiers

And I’ve seen heaven in your eyes.

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails

And your heart is a slave to man’s whips and man’s jails

Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right

And 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 way

And heaven has its way

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
