Lyrics Melissa Etheridge

Melissa Etheridge

Heaven on Earth

I grew up in silence

From silence I became my history

They fed me fear and violence

They hooked me up to this reality

Now I'm not cursing anyone

They only did what they had done to them

But if you want to know where I am now

Then just breathe in and let it out

When you are at the end of your rope

Come find me

Holding on to your last string of hope

Come find me

Open up your eyes

I'll show you what your worth

Don't you know it's you and me

In this heaven on earth

When I laid down my burden

The one where I had something I should prove

Then I found my power

The one where I'm the mountain I could move

So if you want to know where I am now

Then just breathe in and let it out

When you are at the end of your rope

Come find me

Holding on to your last string of hope

Come find me

Open up your eyes

I'll show you what your worth

Don't you know it's you and me

In this heaven on earth

Don't you know that you are golden

Don't you know that you are pure delight baby

It doesn't matter what they painted on you

You can wash it all away tonight

When you are at the end of your rope

Come find me

Holding on to your last string of hope

Come find me

Open up your eyes

I'll show you what your worth

Don't you know it's you and me

In this heaven on earth
