when we first were led to heaven's door
By the hands of those who showed us something more
Their arms were open with no strings attached
And the words they spoke to us meant so much more
And now our lives
Speak to those behind
What do they see
On the other side

Don't shut the door of heaven
On the ones who would believe
If they could see in us the love
That they've been looking for
Don't shut the door - of heaven

Somewhere in the growing up
Sometimes we grow out of touch
With the tenderness that drew us to the truth
If we close our minds and lock our hearts up tight
There's no room for love in what we do
And now our lives
Speak to those behind
What do they see
On the other side

Don't shut the door of heaven
On the ones who would believe
If they could see in us the love
That they've been looking for
Don't shut the door of heaven

On the ones who would believe
If they could see in us the love
That they've been looking for
Don't shut the door - of heaven
