If life is a river
Your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby born to float
And if life is the wild wind
That blows way on hight
Them your heart is Amelia
Dying to fly.
Heaven knows no frontiers
'cos I've seen heaven in your eyes
And if life is a barroom
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 dark night
Is warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way
(chorus)
In your eyes
Faint as the singing of the lark
That somehow this dark night is warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip
And heaven has is way
And heaven has its way
When all will harmonise
And know what's in our hearts
The dream will realise.
