Lyrics The Waterboys

The Waterboys

On My Way to Heaven

I fired an arrow made out of will

And watched as it flew beyond a green hill

I followed its trail with a song in my head

The stars for my cieling, the earth for my bed.

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light.

My thoughts exploded like flowers in May

With the eye of my mind I saw a great day

I climbed a dark tower, took it by stealth

With every idea I invented myself

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light.

In a hungry hour in an unlit land

Heard by no ear I made my demands

The tables were cleared and the ashes were swept

Rome was rebuilt in a day as I slept.

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light.

I can still see the bones of the ships of the sun

In the slow ebbing tide when the battle was won

Afraid of nothing, scared of no man

I did not die and I know who I am.

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light

On my way to the big light.

And no son of Adam, no daughter of Eve

Will be able to stop me when I'm ready to leave.

All love to the love

All flame to the fire

All wings to the wind

All that lives higher.

All love to the love

All flame to the fire

All wings to the wind

All that lives higher.

All love to the love

All flame to the fire

All wings to the wind

All that lives higher.
