Heaven out the Back Door

There really is a heaven 
It's just out that back door 
Where children still play and love rules the day 
And good spirits on white wings soar 

Far far away from the darkness 
Far far away from the pain 
A place that brings back memories 
For a man who forgot whence he came 

Once upon a time he was 
So sure of the things he knew 
Then life came along and his rights got all wrong 
his essence beat black and blue 

Self loathing and self pity
Carved his heart from his chest 
He buried it where it wouldn't be found 
At the time he thought it best 

One day he up and hit the road 
And dug up his broken heart 
Packed it with a few belongings 
Determined to make a new start 

And though it tis late evening now 
He's happy that he's tried 
The children's laughter have warmed the heart 
And he's placed it back inside 

Don't know how long it can keep beating 
It doesn't matter much anymore 
Because he finally knows there is a heaven 
And it's right out that back door 

:-) ... RER
