I bet the trumpets played and the angels sang
Every sweet refrain of amazing graze
And that heaven's hands opened up the gate
And the children danced when they saw your face
As happy as they were to see you coming
I was just as sad to have to watch you go, oh, but

Knowing what I know about heaven
Believing that you're all the way home
Knowing that you're somewhere better
Is all I need to let you go
I could hope that I could pray you back
But why on earth would I do that
When you're somewhere life and love never ends
Oh, just knowing what I know about heaven

Where every single voice makes a joyful noise
How sweet the sound when the saints rejoice
To every broken heart and every wounded soul
New life begins on streets of gold
Where every tear it's raining here from my eyes
I know the sun is shining where you are, oh

Knowing what I know about heaven
Believing that you're all the way home
Knowing that you're somewhere better
Is all I need to let you go
I could hope that I could pray you back
But why on earth would I do that
When you're somewhere life and love never ends
Oh, just knowing what I know about heaven

I could hope that I could pray you back
But why on earth would I do that
When you're somewhere life and love never ends
Oh, just knowing what I know about heaven
