Heaven’s Here on Earth Lyrics by Tracy Chapman

New Beginning

1995

[Verse 1]
You can look to the stars in search of the answers
Look for God and life on distant planets
Have your faith in the ever after
While each of us holds inside the map to the labyrinth
And heaven's 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
Heaven's here on earth
[Pre-Chorus]
In our faith in humankind
In our respect for what is earthly
In our unfaltering belief
In peace and love and understanding
[Verse 3]
I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise
Of ordinary people leading ordinary lives
Filled with love, compassion, forgiveness and sacrifice
Heaven's in our hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
In our faith in humankind
In our respect for what is earthly
In our unfaltering belief
In peace and love and understanding
[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
If Heaven's here on earth
[Pre-Chorus]
If we have faith in humankind
And respect for what is earthly
And an unfaltering belief that truth is divinity
[Chorus]
And heaven's here on earth
[Bridge]
I've seen spirits
I've met angels
I've touched creations beautiful and wondrous
I've been places where I question all I think I know
But I believe, I believe, I believe this could be heaven
[Verse 5]
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
Heaven's here on earth
[Pre-Chorus]
If we have faith in humankind
And respect for what is earthly
And an unfaltering belief
In peace and love and understanding
[Chorus]
This could be
Heaven here on earth
