Our true home is in Heaven

And we are simply traveling through

This life is just a chapter

In the book of life for me and you

We travel through with others

Who may get lost along the way

We may be lessons for each other

While crossing mountains every day

Perhaps those who began our path

Have simply taken different trails

And now they’ve blessed us with more room

To throw our bow lines, set our sails

You see, this life is not complex

Like our minds make it out to be

We’re all a part of God’s pure love

Yes, God Exists in You and Me

For now we’re only passing through

We learn and grow along the way

We find our strength throughout our trials

As we live life through trials each day

Then someday we’ll return to Heaven

And we’ll look back on all we’ve done

We will be proud of strength we gained

And know how we affected everyone

So when you reach your last life step

Of this life shared by me and you

Your next step will be walked in Heaven

For we are only passing through
