Name: Heaven
Duration: P00H02M48S
Description: When I was trying to think of something to "say" about the prompt I landed on the idea that people often don't take the opportunity to (as ferris bueller would say) look around once in a while and they seem to miss the obvious...Heaven is right here, all around us. It's hard to see the forest through the trees sometimes, but we can make paradise here, now, with the ones we love.

lyrics

Why you gotta die to get to heaven
Everything will be alright if you let it
Grass is always greener when you’re not the one mowing it the truth is important unless you’re the one knowing it
Life is funny you gotta be jokin life is patient slowly eroding the fabric of my space time leave me in stitches cuz I waste time talkin at god trying to get some face time Mano a Mano I rage against the dying of the light just like Icarus when he took flight I wonder what that looked like grabbing the bull by the horns and the semi by the headlights you got me dead to rights free your mind feed your head right allow me to take this opportunity to reality check the mic heaven is right here in your heart and your mind

Why does opportunity knock when you least expect it everything will get better if you let it square pegs jammed tight into round holes life cuts both ways don’t judge a guitar by the sound hole or make a mountain out of mole hills chemical composition swallow more pills stay cold like so chill if I never sell a single record I’ll flow still smooth as silk sweet as honey and milk that never spills

I wonder what that looked like grabbing the bull by the horns and the semi by the headlights you got me dead to rights free your mind feed your head right allow me to take this opportunity to reality check the mic heaven is right here in your heart and your mind and you know that’s right
