[VERSE]
When I arrive at the gates
God will ask, "what of my angel?
And did you bestow on her loving unfailing?"
I'll turn away in my shame
All of my iconoclastic raving
May well have cost her the gift of blind faith
Oh and maybe I mistook the light on her shoulders for guilt
Mixed up the body and blood with the milk of a mother
Apron strings pulling, watching her youngest leave
[Chorus]
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
[VERSE]
And as we arrive at an agе
Where peoplе ask, "what of their children?"
And "is it a case of they wouldn't or couldn't?"
We still don't know either way
And your body works til it doesn't
But what if it makes her feel less of a woman?
Oh and what if the fruit of our love isn't fruit of our loins?
What if she dies never knowing the joys of a mother?
Spending life worried of how empty heaven could be?
[Chorus]
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
[VERSE]
"Mike," she said, "God put the music inside of you two
Even though right now it feels like something the devil would do
It begins to make sense, as you glimpse heaven's fence through the trees."
[Chorus]
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
Heaven's the one lie I wish I believed
