"Heaven" lyrics

In the beginning, there was light
Man and woman lived in paradise
But with the apple, they both fell
And cast us all beneath the serpent's spell
Books of knowledge from the wise
Say they're right before our very eyes
There is still a garden here
One that's free of greed and pain and fear

Heaven could be here for us today
How on earth could you turn me away?
Won't you go with me?
Help me find the key
How much longer will I have to wait
Here at Heaven's gate?

You say you've got to find yourself
Before you share your love with someone else
Another time, another place
But we're not giving time and love to waste

Heaven could be here for us today
How on earth could you turn me away?
Won't you go with me?
Help me find the key
How much longer will you make me wait
Here at Heaven's gate?

Oh, reason and guidance surround us
Deafness and blindness confound us
Always, your choice paves the way

Heaven could be here for us today
How on earth could you turn me away? (Don't turn me away)
Won't you go with me? (Go with me)
Help me find the key (Find the key)
How much longer will we have to wait
Here at Heaven's gate?

Heaven could be here for us today (It could be here)
How on earth could you turn me away? (Don't turn me away)
Won't you go with me?
Help me find the key
How much longer will I have to wait
Here at Heaven's gate?
