Little Piece Of Heaven
Kim Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't make the clouds disappear
If you were gone
What would I become?
Like the days that I wear black
From the times that darkness surrounds
You are my home
The only refuge I know
You're so good to me
Dear God
You put a little piece of heaven
A little piece of heaven in my world
Dear God
You put a little piece of heaven
A little piece of heaven
A little piece of heaven
In my world
Into the void I misstep
Got myself in trouble again
Looking at the magazines
And the movie stars
And the fading dreams
Where can I just go air out?
Where I can't think
Where I won't dream at all?
Tell me, Lord
What would I become?
You're so good to me
A moment of clarity
Dear God
You put a little piece of heaven
A little piece of heaven in my world
Dear God
You put a little piece of heaven
A little piece of heaven
In my world
In Kim Fox's song 'Little Piece Of Heaven', the lyrics paint a picture of the struggles of life, the ups and downs, the darkness and the light. The opening lines talk about how sweet words to oneself will not make the clouds disappear, and how one's life might change if someone important were gone. The days that are dark and wearisome, the only refuge is the one that the singer knows as 'home'. It seems to be a plea for help, for a way out of the darkness, and it is to God that the singer looks.
The chorus goes on to thank God for putting a little piece of heaven in the world of the singer. It is a reference to the shining light amidst the darkness of life. The void that the singer missteps into, the trouble that comes, the looking at magazines and movie stars, and the fading dreams, are all signs of the struggles of life. The singer wonders where to go to get away from all the noise, the thoughts, and the dreams. It is in God that the singer finds solace, a moment of clarity, and a little piece of heaven.
In the end, 'Little Piece Of Heaven' can be interpreted as a song of hope, a reminder that in the darkness of life, there is still light to be found. It is a battle cry of the soul to seek refuge in God, who will always be there to offer comfort and guidance.

Sweet words to myself
Positive affirmations may not solve my problems
Won't make the clouds disappear
Positive thinking won't magically make everything better
If you were gone
Without you, my life would lose its meaning
What would I become?
I would be lost without you
Like the days that I wear black
I am consumed by darkness and despair
From the times that darkness surrounds
I feel overwhelmed by sadness and fear
You are my home
Being with you feels like being in a safe and familiar place
The only refuge I know
You are the only person I can turn to when I need comfort
You're so good to me
I am grateful for all the kindness and support you show me
Dear God
Addressing a higher power for help and guidance
You put a little piece of heaven
You have brought me great joy and happiness
A little piece of heaven in my world
You have made my life better in so many ways
Into the void I misstep
I am lost and confused, unsure of what to do next
Got myself in trouble again
I tend to make mistakes and poor choices
Looking at the magazines
Comparing myself to unrealistic standards of beauty and success
And the movie stars
Feeling envious of the fame and fortune of others
And the fading dreams
Realizing that my own dreams may never come true
Where can I just go air out?
Looking for a place to escape and clear my mind
Where I can't think
Needing a break from all the stress and pressure in my life
Where I won't dream at all?
Wondering if it would be easier to give up on my dreams altogether
Tell me, Lord
Asking for guidance and help from a higher power
You put a little piece of heaven
You continue to bring joy and happiness to my life
A little piece of heaven in my world
You have made my life worth living
