Doors of Heaven |
| If all the doors were closed in heaven |
| Where would all the angels go |
| Would they just fly around forever |
| Or would they come down here below |
| If the pearly gates were closed this morning |
| Would there be angels here tonight |
| And would they live their lives among us |
| And share the darkness with their light |
| If all the doors were close in heaven |
| They’d have to close the road to hell |
| We’d all be stuck here with each other |
| There would be nowhere else to dwell |
| If the pearly gates were closed this morning |
| And everyone there had to leave |
| And death was nothing but a moment |
| Beyond the breaths you took to breathe |
| If all the doors were closed in heaven |
| Who would dare abuse a child |
| Or let a little kid go hungry |
| Or not return a simple smile |
| If the pearly gates were closed this morning |
| And the host of heaven was on the street |
| I wonder if they’d look much different |
| From the likes of you and me |
| So I hope they close the doors to heaven |
| And all the angels up above |
| Come and build a home among us |
| Remind us what it is to love |
| If the pearly gates were closed this morning |
| Would there be angels here tonight |
| And would they live their lives among us |
| And share the darkness with their light |
