If life is a river and your heart is a boat

And just like a water baby 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 a 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 its way



Heaven knows no frontiers

And I've seen heaven in your eyes



If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails

And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails

Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right

And your heart is the 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 it's 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
