Tell me, how is Heaven

Do you wake with the light, or is it always day?
Do the angels know your name when you walk their way?
Is there music in the air, do you finally feel free?
Do you ever look down and still think about me?
Do you have your old smile, do you laugh like before?
Is there somebody waiting when you step through the door?
I imagine you peaceful, no fear in your chest
No more pain in your body, just finally rest
Tell me, how is Heaven?
Is it everything they say?
Are the streets really golden?
Does the hurt all fade away?
I hope you found the peace
That this world couldn’t give
I’m still learning how to lose you
You’re learning how to live
Maybe you’re by a river where the water stays still
Maybe you’re on a hillside with a house on the hill
Maybe time doesn’t matter, maybe years feel like one
Maybe you don’t miss the night ’cause you live near the sun
Do you sing with the choir, do you stand near the throne?
Do you feel all the love that we should have shown?
Do you know every word that I never could say?
Do my prayers reach Heaven when I whisper your name?
Tell me, how is Heaven?
Is it everything they say?
Are the streets really golden?
Does the hurt all fade away?
I hope you found the peace
That this world couldn’t give
I’m still learning how to lose you
You’re learning how to live
I picture God beside you, saying, “You can let go”
Showing you the answers we were never meant to know
Maybe you can see me when I’m breaking at night
Maybe you’re the reason I still look for the light
And I know I can’t call you, I can’t hear your reply
So I talk to the ceiling and imagine the sky
I’ll keep carrying your love till my own journey ends
Then you can tell me all about Heaven, my friend
How is Heaven?
Do you feel no pain?
How is Heaven?
Will I see you again?
Save me a place
Somewhere close to the sun
I’ll keep talking to you
Till my hallelujah comes
