Story Behind The Song

This song also came off of the “Sacredly Immortal” album. I wrote it in 1996 in the middle of a sound sleep. I woke the next morning to a candle burning in my room, and the music and lyrics written. There was no other way to come full circle with the album but to end with this song. Heaven is right here. It is when we are fully present in the ‘Now’ that we will know. “It returns again, and again and again,” patiently waiting for us to remember.

Song Description

Soaring orchestral new age ballad

Lyrics

Petals on the ground, smell like flowers in my mind
I let you touch me here, where it hurts
Mounted on a white horse, sacred sanctuary
Placed inside me, is the bird, before the sun
Silent stands the knight as he unfolds the scroll,
With the word inscribing shadow’s ancient wall
Revives the hungry echoes
whispers in dark chambers
And now twelve of them, plus one already here,
Already here
And oh open the door
Oh for heaven’s landing
Ooh oh open the door
Ooh oh for heaven’s landing
Right here
Fearless tiger wrestles with the spirit of his want
Capturing the place he grew
Desperation feeds the beast
Voices of the struggle seeking outside,
But he remembers now, he remembers now
He remembers now…that…
Oh open the door
Ooh oh for heaven’s landing
Ooh oh open the door
Oh for heaven’s landing
Right Here
Oh open the door
Oh for heaven’s landing
Ooh oh open the door
Ooh oh for heaven’s landing
Right Here
Tree is by the river, pushing on forever
To the place where it began
It returns again
It returns again and again and again and
again and….
Ooh oh open the door
Ooh oh for heaven’s landing
Ooh oh open the door
Ooh oh for heaven’s landing
Right here
Ooh Oh la la la la la la wey oh
Ooh Oh la la la la la la wey oh
Ooh Oh la la la la la la wey oh
Ooh Oh la la la la la la wey oh
Oh yeah oh yeah oh la la la wey oh
Oh yeah oh yeah oh la la la wey oh
It returns again
Ooh oh oh yeah
Ooh oh oh yeah
Heaven’s landing
Heaven’s landing
