Lyrics
Heaven is a Better Place Today
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here's a glue guy - a performance god
A makeshift shrine - newly lain sod
Hardly even trying - gives the nod
I sure hope I'm not the type to dwell
Hope I'm a fast healer, fast as hell
Heaven is a better place today
Because of this, but the world is just not the same
If and when you get into the end zone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't blame, don't say people lose people all the time anymore
A toonie to the busker and a husky, "keep it coming", under my breath
But then said, "though if you wouldn't mind,
less crying and more trying", more trying and less crying
I sure hope I'm not the type to dwell
Hope I'm a fast healer, fast as hell
Heaven is a better place today
Because of this, but the world is just not the same
If and when you get into the end zone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't blame, don't say people lose people all the time anymore
If and when you get into that end zone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't change, but don't say people lose people all the time anymore
It's just not the same - because of this
It's not the same
