I'm Not Allowed in Heaven

Well, I'm not allowed in Heaven
 And I'm trapped here by the sea
 And I'm not allowed in Heaven
 And its gates do not open for me
 Well, I see its lights shine bright
 And they're waving at me through the trees
 But I'm not allowed in Heaven
 'Til I burn all the sin from me
 Well, I'm not allowed in Heaven
 I got lied to when I was young
 'Cause life's not about being happy, Sarah
 Life's not about having fun
 But I never could fill in the blanks then
 And if not fun, then what is life for?
 And now I'm just endlessly searching
 Without even knowing what for
 And I need a promise of sorts
 A guarantee something will change
 But I'm now allowed in Heaven
 There are no guarantees there, I'm no afraid
 And I see its lights shining bright
 They're waving at me through the trees
 But I'm not allowed in Heaven
 'Til I burn all the sin from me
 And I'm not allowed in Heaven
 'Til I burn all the sin from me
