[Verse 1]
Am
You can look to the stars in search of the answer
Am
Look for God and life on distant planets
Fmaj7
Have your faith in the everafter
G6 N.C.
While each of us holds inside the map to the labyrinth
G6 N.C.
Heaven’s here on earth
Am Am Fmaj7 G6
[Verse 2]
Am
We are the spirit, the collective conscience
Am Fmaj7
We create the pain and the suffering and the beauty in this world
G6 N.C.
Heaven’s here on earth
[Chorus 1]
Am Fmaj7 G6
In our faith in humankind, in our respect for what is earthly
Fmaj7 G6
In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding
Am Am Fmaj7 G6
[Verse 3]
Am
I’ve seen and met angels wearing the disguise
Am
Of ordinary people leading ordinary lives
Fmaj7
Filled with love, compassion, forgiveness and sacrifice
G6 N.C.
Heaven’s in our hearts
[Chorus 1]
Am Fmaj7 G6
In our faith in humankind, in our respect for what is earthly
Fmaj7 G6
In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding
Am Am Fmaj7 G6
[Verse 4]
Am
Look around, believe in what you see
Am
The kingdom is at hand, the promised land is at your feet
Fmaj7
We can and will become what we aspire to be
G6 N.C.
If heaven’s here on earth
[Chorus 2]
Am Fmaj7 G6
If we have faith in humankind and respect for what is earthly
Fmaj7 G6 N.C.
And an unfaltering belief that truth is divinity...
N.C.
And heaven’s here on earth
[Instrumental]
Am Am Fmaj7 G6 Am Am Fmaj7 G6
[Verse 5]
Am Am
I’ve seen spirits, I’ve met angels
Fmaj7 G6
I’ve touched creations beautiful and wondrous
Am Am
I’ve been places where I question all I think I know
Fmaj7 G6
I believe, I believe, I believe this could be heaven
Am Am Fmaj7 G6
[Verse 6]
Am
We are born inside the gates
Am
With the power to create life and to take it away
Fmaj7
The world is our temple, the world is our church
G6 N.C.
Heaven’s here on earth
[Chorus 3]
Am Fmaj7 G6
If we have faith in humankind and respect for what is earthly
Fmaj7 G6 N.C.
And an unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding
N.C. Asus2
This could be heaven here on earth
