About Goin’ Home
I woke up one morning and realized that my past, on Planet Earth, was probably longer than my future – that there was more time that lay behind than what lies ahead. But then again, I believe deeply in life eternal. So, what’s to worry?
But … Just what is it that goes on? What stays behind? Where do I go from here? Heaven knows …
This one thing I do know, however: The purpose of that album was to open our eyes to the timelessness of our future. After all, isn’t that what the basis of Heaven is all about? Moving on. No endings – only new beginnings?

Heaven
Music and Lyrics by Peter LinkI don't believe in heaven
As a place up in the sky
A place where all the angels sit
As the clouds go passin' byI don't believe in heaven
Dressed in white and gold
A city in a world up stairs
Where all of our wings unfold
And a God sits upon His throneI see it more as a state of mind
Since my body gets left behind
I see it more
As an open door
To a life of another kindI don't believe in heaven
As a place this side of hell
A place where all the good folks go
A place where the spirits dwell
An' ol' Peter a-rings dem bellsI see it more as a holy space
A place to pause a spiritual base
I see it more as an open door
To a kind of a quiet grace
And when all is said and done
I think that heaven
Like earth
Is what we make of it
It's a moment in the sun
It's a cleansing time
In a state of grace
It's a place where laughter reigns
Oh it's heaven
Heaven
It's heaven
Oh it's heavenNow I believe in heaven
As a place where I belong
A state of grace a joyful space
A place I can sing my songI'll be livin' high in this state of mind
Free from the earth
And the ties that bind
I'll walk right through
That old open door
To a life of another kindAnd when all is said and done
I think that heaven
Like earth
Is what we make of it
It's a moment in the sun
It's a cleansing time
In a state of grace
It's a place where laughter reigns
Oh it's heaven
Heaven
It's heavenOh it's heaven
Heaven
It's heavenOh it's heaven
It's heaven
Yeah it's heaven
Oooooohh
It's heaven!

I Can't Go Home
Music and Lyrics by Peter LinkAnd now I can't go home
No I can't go home
Got too much to do
So I can't go homeThere's a song in sight
And there's all this light
Beckoning me still
No I can't go homeThere's a reason
I am standing here today
In my skin
I've not honored
Nearly all I could have been
Still I am tryin' to find
Tryin' to find peace of mindSo I just can't go home
No I can't go home
Close that open door
I just can't go homeLet the watch fires burn
Leave no stone unturned
Till I find my stillness
I just can't go homeOn this passage
Through this strange uncharted land
I have come
To the mountain
Back to where I started from
Living from year to year
Wondering why I'm hereAnd still I can't go home
No I can't go home
There's far to much untold
In this world unknownTill I'm satisfied
It's a wondrous ride
Far too far to go
Till I go back home
Till the seed is sown
Till the truth be known
I just can't go home

- Lyrics:
We Fix It
Music and Lyrics by Peter LinkI don't believe that when we die
All things will be forgiven
I think forgiveness comes
When we fix it
When we fix itI do believe that when we die
We take our troubles with us
The bad goes with the good
And then we fix it uh huh
Then we fix itOld bad habits
Doin' somebody wrong
Goin' up places
That ya' don't belong
Cheatin' an' stealin'
An' puttin' on airs
Givin' no heed
To yer past affairsAll for the love of money
All for the love of sin
And if you keep on doin' it
Then you can't get in
Yes if ya' keep on doin' it
No you can't get in
So before we get to heaven
We fix itSo before we get to heaven
We fix itI don't believe that when we live
We're free to do whatever
For every broken heart
Well we fix itI don't believe that heaven means
A clean slate for the living
As each mistake is made
Ya' know we fix itShowin' no mercy
To the tender few
Holding hatred inside of you
Greed is master
Better watch yo' back
Cuz it gets you nothin' but a heart attackAll for the love of money
All for the love of sin
And if you keep on doin' it
Then you can't get in
Yes if ya' keep on doin' it
No you can't get in
So before we get to heaven
We fix itSo before ya' get to heaven
Just fix it
