Heaven on Earth

I have been all around the world, in every corner
Searching heaven, but every place I went my life got colder
I have been going around like a stray dog
But I am not stray, just that heaven's door for me has been lost
I tried to find heaven in the life I have
But it was like getting married to your enemy
and trying to avoid sadness, and mistaking it for love and laughter
But ignoring wrong is bad for me
So I left the place where I belong
Actually I don't belong anywhere
Every place I went there was despair
Everywhere I went I wasn't treated like a person
I was treated by people whose ancestors were demons
I left that place and tried to find heaven in music
No one ever told me that even music can make you sick
It got me worried about the future
Where I couldn't live with music anymore
So sadly I had to leave that place because the environment grew bitter
My body left it but there I left my soul
I tried to ask God to be my guide
But he refused my offer, even he wasn't kind
I used to think that hell was dealt when you were bad and dead
But demons like us even turned Earth into it
It was like hell opened another franchise
and that hell got its hands on Earth before heaven
but it's us who allowed this brutal action
I laugh when people say life is wonderful
How can it be wonderful?
when hell has made it awful
Everywhere I went all I saw were unfulfilled desires
And as I kept walking, the sadness metre's number grew higher
On my way to the hunt for heaven
I saw many people like me, not a few but a dozen
who were unhappy with their lives
But sad thing is that few made it to their heaven by behaving like sharp knives
they turned into demons who tortured others
they also thought too much of themselves
But the saddest part is that I for a while became one of them
still that evil hasn't truly parted
But I know now that on that road I am not starting
Now I even have sore feet by walking on the dirt
Tried too hard but still can't find Heaven on Earth.
