Deep Within

You search the earth, you scan the skies Looking for answers behind your eyes You build your towers, you dig so deep But the truth is hidden where your heartbeats meet It's not the stars, it's not the ground The peace you seek can't be found The fire burns, the rivers flow Inside of you is all you'll know What are you searching for? Heaven or hell, forevermore? It's not above, it's not below It's the life you live, the love you show The battle rages under your skin Heaven and hell are held within You chase the light, you fear the flame But joy and sorrow feel the same You write your stories on empty walls Yet the echo lives where silence calls It's not a place, it's not a name The world within is yours to claim Every turn you make, every path you choose Shapes the heavens and hells you'll use What are you searching for? Heaven or hell, forevermore? It's not above, it's not below It's the life you live, the love you show The battle rages under your skin Heaven and hell are held within No need to climb, no need to fall The answers aren't beyond the wall Look to yourself, face what you feel The heaven you seek, the hell you heal So stop the search, the truth is clear The world you crave is already here Heaven and hell, they both begin Not out there, but deep within
