Paroles et musique : Jimmy Mc Carthy

If life is a river and your heart is a boat

And just like a water baby born to float

And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high

And your heart is Amelia dying to fly

Heaven knows no frontiers

And I' ve seen heaven in your eyes

 

And if life is a bar room in wich we must wait

Round the man with is fingers on the ivory gates

Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates

And we stack all the dead men in self addressed crates

 

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark

That somehow this black night

Feels warmer for the spark

Warmer for the spark

To hold us' till the day

When fear will lose its grip

And heaven has its way

 

Heaven knows no frontiers

And I' ve seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails

And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails

 

Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right

And you heart is a pure flame of man's constant night

 

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark

That somehow this back night

Feel warmer for the spark

Warmer for the spark

To hold us' till the day

When fear will lose its grip

And heaven has its way

And heaven has its way

When all will harmonise

And know what's in our hearts

The dream will realise

 

Heaven knows no frontiers

And I' ve seen heaven in your eyes

Heaven knows no frontiers

And I' ve seen heaven in your eyes
