  • Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh

    I see the distant smoke across the waterway
    I'd swim a thousand miles just to hear you say
    The words that never come when you need them most
    To dry your eyes out
    Is it your mother's tone? Or your father's ghost?
    Remember stick and stones and how they broke your bones
    Pain is how you learn, boy, you learned a lot
    When they hit you in the face, and you begged them all to stop
    Until you rose up again
    And you tried your best to surrender
    Bow down your head
    Then you looked up to the sky and said

    "My God, what a beautiful scene
    Now I know what you mean, wanna stay here forever
    God, what a beautiful scene
    Now I know what you mean, you're my gateway to Heaven"

    From underneath the dust, you see the curtain call
    Compared to what you know, the generation stole
    To the hands of greed that will take it all
    And cut your heart out
    See the face in the shadow
    Just a thrill in the seas
    We'll be ghosts by tomorrow
    Just to die in a dream
    But you rise up again and you fight against the surrender
    My friends, don't wait
    Just look up to the sky and say

    "My God, what a beautiful scene
    Now I know what you mean, wanna stay here forever
    God, what a beautiful scene
    Now I know what you mean, you're my gateway to Heaven
    God, what a beautiful scene
    Now I know what you mean, wanna stay here forever
    God, what a beautiful scene
    Now I know what you mean, you're my gateway to Heaven"

    Gateway to Heaven
    You're my gateway to Heaven
    Gateway to Heaven
    Alright

    Oh
