Near To Heaven

NEAR TO HEAVEN

2017

WALKING DOWN THE BEACH

COVERED IN THE SKY 

THE SUN WAS STILL RISING

CLIMBING WAY UP HIGH

WALKING THROUGH THE SAND

FOLLOWING THE TIDE

MILES OF FOOTPRINTS BEHIND ME 

MILES TO GO

TRIPPING ALONG LAYING LOW 

SUN REFLECTS IN POOLS

FROM THE RECEDING TIDE 

CLOUD ILLUSIONS CONFUSE MY EYES 

I CAN HARDLY TELL WHERE THE EARTH MEETS THE SKY 

I KEEP GOING DEEPER INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY

THERE I WAS BENEATH A SUNNY SKY

THE WAVES CRASHING NEARBY

NEAR TO HEAVEN AS I WALK BY

I HAVEN'T SEEN A SOUL

THE SUN IS GETTING LOW

THE SKY TURNS ORANGE AND GOLD

IT JUST GLOWS

MAGIC ALL AROUND, I CARRY ON

STARS BEGIN TO FILL EVERY INCH OF THE SKY

AS I REST WATCHING IT ALL WITH ONE EYE OPEN

SO I DON'T MISS A THING

THE MOON SHINES DOWN ON THE WATER

JUST AS IT'S ALWAYS DONE

AND THE WAVES KEEP COMING TO THE SHORE

LIFE GOES ON, THERE'S ALWAYS MORE 

SQUEEZING EVERY DROP LIKE IT MIGHT BE MY LAST

TURN INTO A PART OF THE PAST

SHOOTING STARS STREAK RIGHT ON BY

I SLEEP THE SLEEP OF A THOUSAND

THAT CAME BEFORE ME, PASSED THIS WAY

HERE COMES ANOTHER DAY

GOLDEN SUN LAUGHING AT THE MORNING

HEATING UP THE AFTERNOON 

I COOL OFF IN THE SEA

BEFORE I SET OFF AGAIN

DEEPER INTO THIS DAY, THIS DREAM, THIS GETAWAY 

THIS MAGIC HAS A WAY OF DIGGING DEEP

GETS RIGHT INTO YOUR SOUL

 YOU CAN SEE IT IN MY EYES

BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS, SWEET SURPRISE

COVERED IN THE SKY

NEAR TO HEAVEN, AS I WALK BY

NEAR TO HEAVEN, UNDER A BLUE SKY
