I saw it again today
int he face of a little child
looking through eyes of fear and uncertainty
it echoed in a cry for freedom
across the street and across the miles
cries from the heart
to find the missing part
[Chorus]
Where is the hope
where is the peace
that will make this life complete
for every man, woman, boy, and girl
looking for heaven in the real world
Stand in the pouring rain
and believe the sun will shine again
to know that the grade is not the end
to feel the embrace of grace
across the line your real life beings
you know in your heart
you found the missing part
[Chorus]
There is a hope
there is a peace
that will make this life complete
for every man, woman, boy, and girl
looking for heaven in the real world
Heaven in the real world
Happened one night
with the tiny baby's birth
God of creation crying
he sent heaven to earth
He is the hope he is the peace
that will make this life complete
for every man, woman, boy, and girl
looking for heaven in the real world [2X]
Heaven has come to the real world
heaven has come
come to the real world
He is the hope
he is the peace
jesus is heaven
heaven in the real world
