Story Behind The Song
Been there, done that bought many of the tee-shirts. I have given up more times than I care to remember...but there is a pilot light inside of me that remains illuminated and always ready to ignite again!
Song Description
We all cycle through highs and lows. Life can be very challenging and there are many times when you just feel like giving up the fight. The character in this song is at that point and rather than giving into defeat, turns instead to the power of prayer and surrender to a higher power.

Lyrics
Heaven Knows
Well I?m walking down a dusty road
I?ve traveled many times before
And I?m hoping it?ll bring me somewhere
I?ve never been before
I?m leading with my heart again,
I?m bleading, trying to start again
And I?m praying that my love will open
up some doors
(Chorus)
Heaven is a place for those who love to pray
Even when time is slipping away
Heaven is the promise of a brand new day
When you talk about heaven, you?re talking bout you and me
Heaven knows
Well I?m open to the word this time,
I?m hoping I?ll be heard this time
And I?m thinking there?s a chance that I?m
gonna finally know
The presence of a loving hand,
the promise of a peaceful land
And the wisdom to finally understand,
it?s been here all along.
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge)
Heaven Knows?that I?m with you this time
Heaven knows?that our love is on the line
And with every new sunrise I get a brand new start
Talk about heaven, talk about you and me
heaven knows
