Poem
Where is Heaven? I know you’re looking for heaven my boy. I know you’re looking for heaven. You’ve been looking since you were seven my boy. You’ve been looking since you were seven. That’s where your mother went my boy. That’s where your mother went. The Good Lord took her away my boy. And that’s where she was sent. Now the truth may cause you to weep my boy, the truth may cause you to weep. For heaven is not where you seek my boy, no heaven is not where you seek. For you wont find heaven on earth my boy, You won’t find heaven on earth. If heaven is a place with only love and joy, Then you wont find heaven on earth. And you wont find heaven on earth my boy, you wont find heaven on earth. If in heaven there is only care and trust, then you wont find heaven on earth. Now you wont find heaven on earth my boy, you wont find heaven on earth. If heaven is a place where we live in peace, then you wont find heaven on earth. And you wont find heaven on earth my boy, no you wont find heaven on earth. If heaven is a place with no fear or pain, then you wont find heaven on earth. I say you wont find heaven on earth my boy, no you wont find heaven on earth. If in heaven there is no jealousy or greed, then you wont find heaven on earth. Surely you wont find heaven on earth my boy, You wont find heaven on earth. If heaven is a place where there is no hate, Then you wont find heaven on earth. Now I see I’ve made you cry my boy, I see I’ve made you cry. For the fear of never finding her, And remembering that last good-by. But we’ll all be together again my boy, We’ll all be together again. Though it means we’ll have to wait my boy, Yes, it means we’ll have to wait. So live your life, live it well my boy, Be happy and carefree and honest, For I’m sure when it ends, you’ll have the joy. Of the love from the mother you’ve honoured The young lad grew into a young man and then a family man. And then one day he approached his father saying. Remember when you told me father, There was no Heaven on Earth. I gave it serious thought then father, For in your voice there was no mirth. You said I wouldn't find Heaven father, If I searched throughout the world. You said it's not where I looked father, It'd be easier to find a black pearl. Your words then caused me to search father, And that search was continuous and long. The answer is obvious to me now father, Though I'm not saying, you're wrong. It is now so easy for me to see father, We need only reverse our gaze. Being distracted by all the hype father, Will surely keep us in the maze. Our time has come to evolve father, It's calling us, begging us to respond, If we would outgrow our selfish ways father, Fear and violence would not find a home. With this I know you'd agree father, This world I've now come to enjoy. My sovereignty from the beginning father, Is what the system has tried to destroy. We are sparks of light, that is love father, We were blessed by our creator. The game is to find our way home father, We'll all arrive there sooner or later. There are no more words I can say father, Great knowledge is not granted to me. But Heaven resides within father, Knowing this will set us free.
