Heaven Doesn't Care


One summer afternoon
You walked into heaven
No one said a word
About your t-shirt and your jeans


No one asked to see
Proof or confirmation
You were meant to walk
In a place you've never been

All the sacred words
All the regulations
Holy aspirations
They don't get you there

Every voice is heard
No discrimination
There's no revelation
Heaven doesn't care

Your name was on the door
You were unexpected
Got there way too soon
Before your time

All around you saw
Every kind and every colour
Every single soul
A star that shines

All the sacred words
All the regulations
Holy aspirations
They don't get you there

Every voice is heard
No discrimination
There's no revelation
Heaven doesn't care

All the holy words
All the revelations
Only aspirations
They don't get you there
Every voice is heard
No discrimination
There's no revelation
Heaven doesn't care
