Lyrics

Heaven Is in Your Mind

You ride on the swing in and out of the bars

Capturing moments of life in a jar

Playing with children, acting as stars

Guiding your vision to heaven and heaven is in your mind

Take extra care not to lose what you feel

The apple you're eating is simple and real

Water the flowers that grow at your heel

Guiding your vision to heaven and heaven is in your mind

Ride on the swing in and out of the bars

Capturing moments of life in a jar

Playing with children, acting as stars

Guiding your vision to heaven and heaven is in your mind

Take extra care not to lose what you feel

The apple you're eating is simple and real

Water the flowers that grow at your heel

Guiding your vision to heaven and heaven is in your mind

Mind
