... Caught in the void and empty space
In between there and back
And the paradise of going somewhere
That's still so far away
Happy, boy you bet I am
Holding on to this smile
for just as long as I can

Heaven

It's all bright in front
And it's all dark behind
Livin' for the now that's
in between the bridges and the signs
And getting there is still
a long way to go...
