I Know This Isn't Heaven

When I awoke this mornin'
There was a brand-new dawn
Fairies floatin' through the air
Elves dancin' on the lawn
This isn't psychedelic
No drug crazed fantasy
Maybe it's a glimpse of
What lies in store for me

I know this isn't heaven--------} Chorus
No Saint Pete at the door
It can't be Valhalla
I don't hear Odin's roar
It sure isn't paradise
No virgins do I see
I know this isn't heaven but
It's close enough for me

I've tried to live a good life
I know I'm not a saint
But I've tried to make up for
All my bad mistakes
No wolves are at my door
No dark clouds are in sight
It's not getting warmer
No furnace burning bright

I know this isn't Heaven--------} Chorus
No Saint Pete at the door
It can't be Valhalla  
I don't hear Odin's roar
It sure isn't Paradise
No virgins do I see
I know this isn't Heaven but
It's close enough for me

I hope it’s not my last day ------) Bridge
I’m not ready to go
But if I leave this minute
What a final show
Rainbows all around me
Waves lap at my feet
If this is my last breath
Then my life is complete

Instrumental break

I know this isn't heaven--------} Chorus
