I see the distant smoke across the waterway
I'd swim a thousand miles just to hear you say
The words that never come when you need them most
To dry your eyes out
Is it your mother's tongue or your father's ghosts?
Remember sticks and stones and how they broke your bones
Pain is how you learn, boy, you learned a lot
When they hit you in the face, and you begged them all to stop
Until you rose up again
And you tried your best to surrender
Bowed down your head
Then you looked up to the sky and said
"My God, what a beautiful scene
Now I know what you mean
Wanna stay here forever
God, what a beautiful scene
Now I know what you mean
You're my gateway to Heaven"
From underneath the dust, you see the curtain call
Can't bear to watch another generation stall
To the hands of greed that will take it all
And cut your heart out
See the face in the shadow
Just a thread in the seams
We'll be ghosts by tomorrow
Just a day in a dream
But you'll rise up again
And you'll fight against the surrender
My friends, don't wait
Just look up to the sky and say
"My God, what a beautiful scene
Now I know what you mean
Wanna stay here forever
God, what a beautiful scene
Now I know what you mean
You're my gateway to Heaven
God, what a beautiful scene
Now I know what you mean
Wanna stay here forever
God, what a beautiful scene
Now I know what you mean
You're my gateway to Heaven"
Gateway to Heaven
You're my gateway to Heaven
Gateway to Heaven
Alright
