If life is a river and your heart is a boat

And 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 'til the day

 When fear will lose it's 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 the 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 'til the day

 When fear will lose it's grip

 And heaven has its way

 And heaven has its way

 When all will harmonise

 And know what's in our hearts

 The dream will realise

 Heaven knows no frontiers

And I've seen heaven in your eyes

 Heaven knows no frontiers

And I've seen heaven in your eyes
