[Verse 1]
You can look to the stars in search of the answer
Look for God and life on distant planets
Have your faith in the everafter
While each of us holds inside the map to the labyrinth

Heavenâs here on earth

[Verse 2]
We are the spirit, the collective conscience
We create the pain and the suffering and the beauty in this world

Heavenâs here on earth
[Chorus 1]
In our faith in humankind, in our respect for what is earthly
In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Iâve seen and met angels wearing the disguise
Of ordinary people leading ordinary lives
Filled with love, compassion, forgiveness and sacrifice
G6 e|-----------------|

Heavenâs in our hearts
[Chorus 1]
In our faith in humankind, in our respect for what is earthly
In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Look around, believe in what you see
The kingdom is at hand, the promised land is at your feet
We can and will become what we aspire to be
G6 e|-----------------|

E|-----------------|
If heavenâs here on earth
[Chorus 2]
If we have faith in humankind and respect for what is earthly
N.C.
And an unfaltering belief that truth is divinity...
N.C.
And heavenâs here on earth
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
Iâve seen spirits, Iâve met angels e|---8-5--|
|-5------|
Iâve touched creations beautiful and wondrous
Am Am e|---8--------------|
Iâve been places where I question all I think I know B|-5---10-----------|
I believe, I believe, I believe this could be heaven e|---8-----|
|-5---12--|
[Verse 6]
We are born inside the gates
With the power to create life and to take it away
The world is our temple, the world is our church
G6 e|-----------------|

Heavenâs here on earth

If we have faith in humankind and respect for what is earthly

And an unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding
N.C.
This could be heaven here on earth
