Well, I'm not allowed in Heaven
And I'm trapped here by the sea
And I'm not allowed in Heaven
And its gates do not open for me
Well, I see its lights shine bright
And they're waving at me through the trees
But I'm not allowed in Heaven
'Til I burn all the sin from me
Well, I'm not allowed in Heaven
I got lied to when I was young
'Cause life's not about being happy, Sarah
Life's not about having fun
But I never could fill in the blanks then
And if not fun, then what is life for?
And now I'm just endlessly searching
Without even knowing what for
And I need a promise of sorts
A guarantee something will change
But I'm now allowed in Heaven
There are no guarantees there, I'm no afraid
And I see its lights shining bright
They're waving at me through the trees
But I'm not allowed in Heaven
'Til I burn all the sin from me
And I'm not allowed in Heaven
'Til I burn all the sin from me
