HEAVEN IS OPEN

I kept my shoes beside the doorway Like I would have to

leave again

I learned to sleep with one eye open And never call a

stranger friend

But nobody is asking questions Nobody's checking where I've been

There's sunlight pouring through the windows And every door is letting in

I thought I'd have to prove it

I thought I'd have to pay

But nobody is counting

Nobody looks away

Heaven is open

Nobody's keeping score

I don't have to be perfect

I don't have to be more

Haven is open

Come as you are tonight

I spent my whole life hiding

Now I can stand in the light

I used to think that every kindness Was something I'd have to

return

That every hand that reached toward me

Would eventually make me hurt But here they give without demanding And

love without a hidden cost I'm learning that a heart can soften

Without forgetting what it lost

I thought I'd have to earn it

I thought I'd have to change

But nobody is judging

The shape that I became

Heaven is open

Nobody's keeping score

I don't have to be perfect

I don't have to be more

Haven is open

Come as you are tonight

I spent my whole life hiding

Now I can stand in the light

Leave the key beneath the flower

Leave the lock beside the door

If I never need to run again What was I running for?

Maybe I can stay here

Maybe I belong

Maybe all this time

I was never wrong

Heaven is open

Nobody's keeping score

I don't have to be perfect

I don't have to be more

Haven is open

And I

don't have to hide

I spent my whole life waiting

Now I'm finally inside

Leave the door wide

open Let the sunlight in I don't need permission

I can

finally begin
