Story Behind The Song

I thought of my mother laughing again with her best friend. After my mother died, I thought she could see me as I really am, after a lot of misunderstanding in life. Wrote the music in my head, keeping my father company in hospital, as he slept.

Song Description

... but aware, peaceful and happy, re-united with the ones who've gone before, watching the ones left behind. Contrast with the challenges that we, the living, still have to encounter.

Lyrics

Now you can see -
See who we really are
Now you can feel -
Feel what we really feel
Now you can hear
Hear what we were trying to say
There's nothing between us now, no misunderstanding, no complicated mind
You've been welcomed to
The party in the heart.

The party of freedom
The party of light and love
The party of bliss and peace and joy
All you wanted, for all of your life
Now you're re-united
In the place where we all want to be
You're with all the ones you love,
the ones you missed, the ones you wanna see
At the party of love
The party in the heart

You know this song's for you
I hope it speeds you on your way
I know you're with me now
We can talk all day
But there's not much for either of us to say
It's all been said in the language of the heart
So we'll just enjoy seeing it all... going on, going by, going strong
We'll just dance away
At the party in the heart

The rest of us here
Still have to climb all those walls
That keep us all apart
Keep us in the dark
We live behind a doorway of words
Walk along pathways of stones
Not like that warm crystal water, flowing between us all
Or that gentle summer air
At the party in the heart

Now where'd you rather be?
I know you can't change a thing
But now you can see
And you can be here with me
I'll do it all for you
And you'll be there to share it all with me
You'll be there to see us all, you'll be there to love us all
Yes, you'll gently love it all
At the party in the Heart.

Yes, you gently love it all
At the party in the Heart.

You gently love....
At the party in the Heart
