We're Already in Heaven - Foy Vance

One day we will dissipate

Reassign our molecules and float away

And leave behind all wealth

To become part of something else

Somewhere

Out there in the galaxy

Up among the stars or in the depths of the seas

Where the only song’s the sound

Of the universe expanding endlessly

Into eternity

We’re already in the heavens

We were always in the heavens

We’re already in heaven

And what if I said I don’t pray

Would you think of me a Rabelaisian case

Or just a man thinking at night

With a modicum of insight

Honestly

It’s all you need

To see right through all beliefs

To glean the wheat and realize the chaff was never real

And all the stories are the same

Love and oneness at their center

Nothing changes

Other than the names, yes

We’re already in the heavens

We were always in the heavens

We’re already in heaven

I could not help myself but leave

That vineyard produced only wine to feed the ego’s greed

And in the end all that I found

Was already written down for me

In Ecclesiastes

Everything is meaningless

There’s neither rhyme nor reason

To the order or the mess

Yet that sparkle in your eyes

Is like the birthing of Sirius

I quite simply must confess

We’re already in the heavens

We were always in the heavens

We’re already in heaven
