[Verse 1]
In the land of the plenty, your cup is empty
So tired of waiting your turn
You tried being clever, down for whatever
How many times you been burned
Now with random statistics, detached and cryptic
You only see the bad signs
The system is failing, can't stop despairing
Nothing is changing your mind
[Chorus]
There's a moment when you got to ask
What if heaven was to fall right in your hands?
When your walls come down and the lights go up
What if heaven was to fall right in your hands?
[Verse 1]
Cast out and hopeless, we were the closest
When did everything change?
Is it luck or religion that makes you willing
You spin like a weather vane
So shout what you're feeling, truth is revealing
There's so much beauty that remains
[Chorus]
There's a moment when you got to ask
What if heaven was to fall right in your hands?
When your walls come down and the lights go up
What if heaven was to fall right in your hands?
[Bridge]
There's a moment when you got to ask
What if heaven was to, what if heaven was to
There's a moment when you got to ask
[Chorus]
There's a moment when you got to say what you want
Whoever it hurts, whatever the cost
When the love that you need is so hard to find
Get up off your knees and reach for the sky
[Outro]
There's a moment when you got to ask
What if heaven was to fall right in your hands?
What if heaven was to fall right in your hands?
When your walls come down and the lights go up
When your walls come down and the lights go up
What if heaven was to fall right in your hands?
When your walls come down and the lights go up
What if heaven was to fall right in your hands?

Nathan Willett:
“Heaven in your Hands” is a song about a friend that has taken a dark turn towards hopelessness and cynicism. And you want to ask them – What if instead of despairing – you were vulnerable and said out loud what it is that you want to change in your life? What if heaven were to fall...
