Heaven's Gate
There is a place far from here
yet not so far, but really near
a place whose door is open wide
a place where everyone is welcomed inside.
Heaven's Gate is its name
it's a place where all who enter are treated the same.
It is the door to a place of rest
for all who enter are treated with the best
a place where calm and peace prevail
where beauty and love are not for sale
all are given free and clear
a home for all with nothing but cheer.
It was bought with the life of the man inside
given to us as a sign of his love
and marked on the door is a descending dove.
It is a place where there is no envy or hate,
and all who come are welcome to enter Heaven's Gate.
