I love time and in between
the calm inside me
in this space where i can breathe
i believe there a distance i have wandered
to touch upon the years
reaching out and reaching in
Holding out and holding in

::chorus::
i believe this is heaven
to no one else but me
and ill defend it
long as i can be
left here to linger in silence
if i chose to
would you try to
understand

oh the quiet child
awaits the day when she can break free
the mold that clings like desperation
oh mother dont you see ive got
to live my life the way i feel is right for me
you say its not right for you
buts its right for me

i believe this is heaven
to no one else but me
and ill defend it
long as i can be
left here to linger in silence
if i chose to
would you try to
understand
