If life is a river, and your heart is a boat
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 eyes

And if life is a bar-room, 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 black night feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us till the day
When fear will lose its grip
And Heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen Heaven in your eyes

If 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 night

In your eyes, faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us till the day
When fear will lose its grip
And Heaven has its way, and Heaven has its way
When all will harmonize, and we'll know what's in our hearts
The dream will realize

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen Heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen Heaven in your eyes
