I know a heaven on Earth
A little island in the sun
You can feel the plants growing
As the coloured birds fly overhead

This heaven is manned by a tiny angel
She walks on it’s wood floors on old t-shirts
Keeping up the shine
There are sets of tiny feet running
Over those floors sometimes

She says it’s so empty without me
This heaven on Earth
This little island in the sun

The night is a fortress
The million lights below
Sprawling in a frightening mystery
No man can divine

I never want it to go
Because it gives me life
How will I survive?

I’m far away now
And at my chest is handful of heaven's sand
I grip it fiercely

Everyday a grain falls
As the island moves
And the flowers hum

I know a heaven on Earth
A little island in the sun
It’s far away from everything
From everyone
