Heaven Is A Place On Earth
Nicki French Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth
When the night falls down
I wait for you
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside
When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love
Ooh baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth
When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth
Ooh, Heaven
Ooh, Heaven
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth
The lyrics of Nicki French's "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" suggest the idea of finding one's personal paradise on Earth with their special someone. The song is an invitation to escape the reality of the everyday world and enter a fantasy world where love reigns supreme. The song emphasizes the importance of love and having someone to share it with. It is notable that the lyrics mention that love comes first in heaven, conveying the idea that heaven can exist on Earth if love becomes the priority in the relationship. Metaphorically, heaven in this context represents a feeling of complete happiness and fulfilment, which can only be attained through love.
The lyrics also allude to the notion of the power of music and dance to bring people together. The song mentions the sound of children playing outside, which implies that music and dance are universal languages that bring people of all ages together. Furthermore, the song stresses the idea of finding warmth and safety through a feeling of familiarity with a loved one. The lyrics mention "when I feel alone, I reach for you, and you bring me home." This line implies that there is comfort in the familiarity of a loved one, who can make an unknown or uncomfortable situation feel like home.

When the night falls down
After a long day, when everything quiets down

I eagerly anticipate your arrival
And you come around
And then you show up
And the world's alive
Suddenly everything feels more alive and exciting
With the sound of kids
And we can hear the joy and laughter of children in the neighborhood
On the street outside
Playing outside in the safety of the neighborhood
When you walk into the room
When you enter the space where I am
You pull me close and we start to move
You take my hand and we begin to dance
And we're spinning with the stars above
Our dance creates a beautiful, almost magical moment
And you lift me up in a wave of love
Our love and connection create an intense feeling of warmth and being lifted up
When I feel alone
During times when I am without your company

And you bring me home
And being with you makes me feel whole again
When I'm lost at sea
When I am feeling adrift or directionless
I hear your voice
Your voice brings me clarity and direction
And it carries me
Your words or presence guide and support me
In this world we're just beginning
We are still young and learning about life
To understand the miracle of living
Learning how special and precious life can be
Baby I was afraid before
I used to be scared or uncertain about love or vulnerability
But I'm not afraid anymore
Now I am more confident and open to love
Ooh, Heaven
Heaven or paradise, a peaceful and blissful place
