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 eyesAnd if life is a bar room in which we must waits
'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 cratesIn your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the sparkTo hold us 'til the day when fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyesIf 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 nightIn your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the sparkTo hold us 'til the day when fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way and heaven has its way
When all will harmonize
And know what's in our hearts, the dream will realizeHeaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
