I know it seems like

There's nothing sacred anymore

And the world is dark, lit up with only flames of war

And it's such an empty place

When longing for human praise

They walk away, I'm left wide open

And my heart bleeds and breaks wide open.

I hear there's a sacred place

Just within heaven's gates

If only heaven's gates were open

If only heaven's gates were open.

I know it seems like

There's nothing sacred anymore

Just my salty tears and broken heart was all I wore

A fairytale end for me

Was all I was hoping for

But these hateful scenes play out like songs about divorce.

I hear there's a sacred place

Just within heaven's gates

If only heaven's gates were open

If only heaven's gates were open

But all I have's a broken heart

And all I do is fall apart

If only heaven's gates were open

If only heaven's gates were open.

I remember my name

Was the blessing you gave

And you saw the sad ways

That I answered my pain

But the truth in my soul

That you've hidden away

Is the grace of a love

Far exceeding my shame.

There is a sacred place

Just within heaven's gates

And love has pushed the gates wide open

And love has pushed the gates wide open

So here I come with all my heart

Waiting for my life to start

I'm running with my arms wide open

Running with my arms wide open.

Oh-oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh..

Love has pushed the gates wide open.
