Lyrics
Between Heaven And Earth
A bombing in the holy land
Innocent lives are lost
There's bound to be more bloodshed
To even up the cost
There's peace beyond the bridges
No one dares to cross
Where the answers to our prayers
Dance like shadows in the air...caught
Between Heaven And Earth
I have spent a lifetime
Between Heaven And Earth
Walking on that faultline
Of what Sunday's sermon promises
And what those words are worth
Somewhere Between Heaven And Earth
A homeless man on Broadway asks
"Can you spare a dime?"
I whisper as I rush on by
"I work hard for mine"
Then we bow our heads each evening
And pray at suppertime
"Free our hearts from greed"
But I've got hungry mouths to feed
(CHORUS)
It's a purgatory kind of place
Where silence is a state of grace
And our worst fears come face to face
With all we try to be
Between Heaven And Earth
I have spent a lifetime
Between Heaven And Earth
Waiting for a new time
When what Sunday's sermon promises
Comes true for all it's worth
Somewhere Between Heaven And Earth
Somewhere Between Heaven And Earth
