Lyrics
Verse 1
You cleared a path for me to walk
Paved with love and mercy
I have a grateful heart
No matter what the journey
I know You're with me as I go
I've never left Your sight
And though I'm not yet home
You'll lead me to the other side
Chorus
I'm here in the tension now
My feet are on solid ground
I don't mind confessing
My head is in heaven
I'm here in the in-between
I'm reaching for what's unseen
I don't mind confessing
My head is in heaven
Verse 2
Every blessing that I have
Is a blessing from above
I know I often forget it
That You don't hold back Your love
I thank You for the moments
I got to feel You close
And even when I am hurting
I know I'm not alone
Chorus
I'm here in the tension now
My feet are on solid ground
I don't mind confessing
My head is in heaven
I'm here in the in-between
I'm reaching for what's unseen
I don't mind confessing
My head is in heaven
My head is in heaven
Bridge
I'm in two places at one time one time
I'm in two places at one time one time
I'm in two places at one time one time
I'm in two places at one time one time
Chorus
I'm here in the tension now
My feet are on solid ground
I don't mind confessing
My head is in heaven
I'm here in the in-between
I'm reaching for what's unseen
I don't mind confessing
My head is in heaven
My head is in heaven
I'm in two places at one time one time
I'm in two places at one time one time
My head is in heaven

Meaning & Inspiration
Heaven is a worship song about living between what is seen and what is promised. The first verse thanks God for clearing a path paved with love and mercy, saying the singer has a grateful heart and trusts that He will lead to the other side even though home has not yet been reached. The chorus describes standing in the tension, with feet on solid ground and the head in heaven, reaching for what is unseen.
The second verse acknowledges that every blessing comes from above, that the singer often forgets this, and that God does not hold back love, even when there is hurt. The bridge repeats "I'm in two places at one time." The ideas follow Philippians 3:20 on citizenship in heaven, Colossians 3:2 on setting the mind on things above, and 2 Corinthians 5:7 on walking by faith. The calm pace and simple repetition give the song a grateful, reflective tone.
