Heaven is around us
Heaven is all around
Heaven is around us
Heaven is all around
Here’s to the weak
Here’s to the scared
Happy are the meek for your country is theirs
For all of us a King so comes
The fake and deprived
The tred and the worn
Happy are the meek for their country is Yours
For all of us a king so comes
For all of us a king so comes
Heaven is around us
Heaven is all around
Heaven is around us
Heaven is all around
Open arms to surrender
Bruised and battered hearts remember
For all of us a king so comes
For all of us a king so comes
You dance with the good
You dance with the guilty
Your country calls
To the souls of the willing
All who are willing
Heaven is around us
Heaven is all around
Heaven is around us
Heaven is all around
Heaven is around us
Heaven is all around
Open arms to surrender
Bruised and battered hearts remember
For all of us a king so comes
Lift your head up high
Lift your arms and eyes
Heaven is around us
Heaven is all around
Heaven is around us
Heaven is all around
