Eight years old in short pants clad, 
I am going with my dad, 
Dodger stadium, surreal - 
but Heaven is for real.

Late at night, lifeguard station,
tenderness and elation - 
first kiss, how does it feel - 
like Heaven is for real.

It seemed I never could persuade,
but, in my dorm, that night she stayed - 
Another first -  a big deal,   
like Heaven is for real.

Like, everyone, one day I'll die. 
I wonder if my soul will fly. 
At that time, He will reveal
if Heaven is for real.

There are moments in time that make you feel that feeling of euphoria.

Yep, I think that's what it's really pretty much about. I was going to include a banana split, but I think I'll just make one instead - :-))
