A Place in Heaven

about

To MIKA.
I don’t pretend to understand your pain. I just hope you know I see a different side.

lyrics

VERSE I
Brother, would you listen to a sinner?
A friend, He’s love you from afar through a mirror
He doesn't understand your sorrow
But give me a moment, light will cover the shadows

PRE-CHORUS (2x)
No crime or evil you can ever commit
Will cut the ties of timeless relationship
Father desires son
just accept the gift

CHORUS
Oh MIKA, please
I'm begging you
All I want is to share the truth
There’s still a door yet, you haven’t tried
It’s not the end, don’t be deceived – there’s hope for life

VERSE II
In a world of pain
There’s hope for life
It’s easier to say
easy to decline
but a place in paradise for you, exists
Love exists, great and divine
The universe reacts when we deny
To rebellion it sends dreadful Odyne
I will never stop praying for you to find
the joy and hope that’s on the greener side
Let me tell you why, it was important that I,
write this song and defend the light
I hope this finds you well, the things I see
You're beautiful, respectable, and lovely –
A musical confessional, discovery
a chance to see behind-the-scenes, what a gift,
can you imagine what that does to a kid, though
when he sees his hero crushed?

There’s a way out behind you
But there’s no way I could blame you
I’m just sitting on the outside,
safe behind the speakers in my car
crying in my heart ‘cause I can see a different view
You and I, four eyes, two cameras,
Recording the same world, coming up with two answers
yet there’s no room for disregard
to escape darkness, we need the light of two lanterns
Hey, hey – please don’t give up.
The fact that you feel pain’s thorns pierce deep
means your heart has a capability to swing
drastically like a pendulum to truly know peace
Trust me,
‘cause if I can love you from afar
Then the all-powerful love you thought hated you
can do it with ease
and He does.

(CHORUS 3x)
