[Verse 1]
C G
If life is a river and your heart is a boat
C G
And just like a water baby baby born to float
C G
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
C G
And your heart is Amelia dying to fly
F G A
Heaven knows no frontiers
Dm G C
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
[Chorus]
C G
And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
C G
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
C G
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
C G
And we stack all the dead men in self addressed crates
[Verse 2]
C G
In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
Am
That somehow this black night
F
Feels warmer for the spark
C
Warmer for the spark
G
To hold us 'til the day
Am
When fear will lose it's grip
F
And heaven has its way
G A
Heaven knows no frontiers
Dm G C
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
[Chorus]
C G
If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
C G
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
C G
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
C G
And your heart is the pure flame of man's constant night
[Verse 3]
C G
In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
Am
That somehow this black night
F
Feels warmer for the spark
C
Warmer for the spark
G
To hold us 'til the day
Am
When fear will lose it's grip
F
And heaven has its way
C
And heaven has its way
G
When all will harmonise
Am
And know what's in our hearts
F
The dream will realise
G A
Heaven knows no frontiers
Dm G F
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
G A
Heaven knows no frontiers
Dm G C
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
