Heaven Or Hell

When I think of heaven I think of somewhere up above
A place to aspire to a place filled with love
Heaven's just a place where all of your dreams can come true
There are no limitations it's all up to you
All of a sudden all of these dreams become real
Perhaps I just understand exactly what I feel.

When I think of Hell I think of somewhere down below
Just like you falling down deeper into a bottomless hole
The deeper you go the worse things will get
When you think it's the bottom you haven't gotten there yet.

The world where we live lies somewhere in between
Sometimes like hell other times like a dream
Just as the darkness approaches there will always be light
Much like the sunrise delivers us from night.

The forces at hand have their own separate places
As the time marches on it's the past it erases
Everything truly revolves around what you believe
There is no trick, no rabbit up my sleeve
When first you look and understand with your heart
The light filters down through to where it was dark.

Thanks I just didn't want to lead someone one way or the other. I think of John Lennon's imagine above us only sky:) I'm a bit of a dreamer too:) Mark
