If You Believe In Heaven
Experience can leaven
Circumstance can quell
If you believe in heaven you can go through h***
Experience can soften
Circumstance can mold
If you believe in heaven you can keep firm hold
Experience can deepen
Circumstance can grow
If you believe in heaven you can make love flow
Experience can harden
Circumstance can freeze
If you believe in heaven you can breathe in ease
Experience can broaden
Circumstance can build
If you believe in heaven you can join joy's guild
Experience can toughen
Circumstance can brace
If you believe in heaven you can maintain grace
