There are many ways of listening to music and they are all right. For us it is not only melodies and harmonies but also the lyrics that matter. That is the reason to turn the flashlight to this particular song: Heaven share.
Heaven share is a beautiful story about three different characters who are all trying to survive in the middle of all shortcomings and troubles of everyday live. Take some time and try to imagine yourself to their place.
Heaven Share
She has sunshine in her weather-beaten face
And moonlight in her long and wind torn, messy hair
She has bible in a pocket of her jacket
Pushing her shopping cart everywhere – She’s selling
paradise and absolution, a scheme of moral restitution
Preaching in street corners at people passing by
The passing busy congregation smiles with timid hesitation
A quiet voice inside her head says: Explain me why?
HANG ON
YOU PROMISED ME HEAVEN
HANG ON, HANG ON
WHAT’S THE CATCH?
THE EXPIRATION DATE IS GETTING CLOSER I’M AWARE
AND I’M STILL HERE WAITING FOR MY HEAVEN SHARE
Sister Mary starts another day in perfect silence
Holds the rosary as she has done a thousand times
Another day ahead pushing papers in the office
A quick prayer to those less fortunate and those who turned to crimes
Morning prayer in the abbey was done and dusted fairly snappy
She settles into routines she had promised to comply
While waiting for the resurrection there comes a sudden self-reflexion
A quiet voice inside her head says: Explain me why
HANG ON
YOU PROMISED ME HEAVEN
HANG ON, HANG ON
WHAT’S THE CATCH?
THE EXPIRATION DATE IS GETTING CLOSER I’M AWARE
AND I’M STILL HERE WAITING FOR MY HEAVEN SHARE
She parks the SUV and grabs the groceries from the back seat
The house is empty ever since the kids have left the nest
He’s working late again and they have nothing left to talk about
You’re moody said the doctor. I guess he knows the best
She makes a drink, pops a pill, another afternoon of blissful chill
Hangs her head and thinks about the years passing by
According to the master plan her life by now should be just grand
A quiet voice inside her head says: Explain me Why?
HANG ON
YOU PROMISED ME HEAVEN
HANG ON, HANG ON
WHAT’S THE CATCH?
THE EXPIRATION DATE IS GETTING CLOSER I’M AWARE
AND I’M STILL HERE WAITING FOR MY HEAVEN SHARE
Paint by numbers
Connect the dots
Follow the road-map ahead
And play the odds
HANG ON
YOU PROMISED ME HEAVEN
HANG ON, HANG ON
WHAT’S THE CATCH?
THE EXPIRATION DATE IS GETTING CLOSER I’M AWARE
AND I’M STILL HERE WAITING FOR MY HEAVEN SHARE
