I hope heaven is a blue sky
that shines with crystals at night,
with clear water surrounded by forest
and a waterfall that tumbles down.

I hope to hear voices singing
a soft, sweet melody.
As a warm light holds me
in the warm, summer air.

I hope at night,
heaven is quiet,
as a chorus of crickets sing.

I hope there are flowers in heaven,
of every color.
And I can run in a field full of them,
and feel no pain.

I hope heaven is
where I'll see my loved ones again.
Where they'll greet me with a smile
and open arms.

"Come here, kid,"
they'll say.
And I will smile from ear to ear.

I hope heaven is
where we'll all be together,
free from worry,
and at peace.

And I hope the Lord will care for us,
His children,
in our eternal home.
Where we can look back on those
who are still on Earth.

I hope we may watch over them
and feel pride as they grow.
That we may be there
when they need someone to lift them
out of the darkness they face.

I hope heaven is
free from hate,
filled with love,
brimming with joy.

And I hope we can create
a little of this heaven
here on Earth
for the living who need it most.
