Lyrics
IF HEAVEN SPOKE
by Tracy Scharf
©2006 born at eight music
I see cities bleeding red to the sea
And I hear leaders speak of Godless deeds
As I lift my head, I hear the thunder call
There must be something greater than us all
If heaven spoke to us
- Can you imagine if -
Words of peace and forgiveness rang clear?
If heaven spoke to us
Do you think we?d hear?
And stop fighting over which God to fear?
If heaven spoke
When fires blacken our children?s sky
Tell me, what kind of world are we leaving behind?
And if love is not the message we send
How can we begin again?
If heaven spoke to us
- Can you imagine if -
Words of peace and forgiveness rang clear?
If heaven spoke to us
Do you think we?d hear
And stop fighting over which God to fear?
If heaven spoke
Part the clouds above these battered grounds
There has to be a way to heal the pain all around us
Bring the angels down
Bring the angels down
If heaven spoke
If heaven spoke
Could we stop fighting over which God to fear?
Start seeing through the smoke and the tears?
Would anybody hear?
If heaven spoke
