If life is a river and
your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby
baby born to float
And if life is a wild wind
that blows way on high
And your heart is
Amelia dying to fly
Heaven knows no frontiers and
I've seen heaven in your eyes
And if life is a bar room
in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers
on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of
our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men
in self addressed crates
In your eyes faint
as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its ways
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven
in your eyes
If your life is a rough bed
of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave
to man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger
for justice and right
And your heart is a pure flame
of man's constant night
In your eyes faint
as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
when fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its ways
And heaven has its ways
When all will harmonise
And you know what's
in our hearts
The dream will realise
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven
in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven
in your eyes
