If you were offered a place in heaven
Will you accept the invitation to paradise land?
Will you abandon the things to which you are attached?
Are you willing to leave it all behind
And take a seat next to the Gods?
You know you'll be happier up there
But your legs are still shaking
They're still hesitating
Your steps remain shadows
Waiting to be swallowed
You look up and notice the long endless staircase
You look down and see the people walking as if they're charity cases
At the top, floating clouds and wealthy spirits
On the bottom, floating minds
Emptied of their reason, replaced with shallow sights
If you were offered a place in heaven
Will you ignore the screaming voices?
Will you let the starving beasts limit your choices?
Will you give in to your senses
Or will you break free and conjugate to your own tenses?
Just a bit of freedom
Just a bit of wisdom
If i was offered a place in heaven...
Heaven is where my imagination is
Heaven is where my heart is
Heaven is where my thoughts take me
Far from reality that would be
For the unthankful, for the believers, for the dreamers, for those who broke free.
