In the beginning, there was light Man and woman lived in paradise But with the apple, they both fell And cast us all beneath the serpent's spell Books of knowledge from the wise Say that right before our very eyes There is still a garden here One that's free of greed and pain and fear Heaven could be here for us today How on earth could you turn me away? Won't you go with me? Help me find the key How much longer will I have to wait Here at Heaven's gate? You say you've got to find yourself Before you share your love with someone else Another time, another place But we're not given time and love to waste Heaven could be here for us today How on earth could you turn me away? Won't you go with me? Help me find the key How much longer will you make me wait Here at Heaven's gate? Oh, reason and guidance surround us Deafness and blindness confound us All ways your choice paves the way Heaven could be here for us today How on earth could you turn me away? (Don't turn me away) Won't you go with me? (Go with me) Help me find the key (Find the key) How much longer will we have to wait Here at Heaven's gate? Heaven could be here for us today (It could be here) How on earth could you turn me away? (Don't turn me away) Won't you go with me? Help me find the key How much longer will I have to wait Here at Heaven's gate?
