No Rabbit Holes In Heaven

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

I don't often eavesdrop, but recently I was in line at the grocery store where the guy behind me was kind of a 'loud talker'. He was on his phone and said, "...well, you know, there ain't no rabbit holes in heaven." - How could I not write this, I ask you? I'm not particularly religious, but when you're given a gift... #needsmusic #needscollab #lyricsonly #spiritualish

Lyrics

I’ve been wandering this world
Chasing shadows on the ground
Falling into rabbit holes
Where lost things can be found

Searching for the answers 
In the corners of my mind
But every twist and turn 
Just leaves me more confined

CHORUS:
There ain't no rabbit holes in heaven
No more falling down or endless chase
Just a light that keeps on shining
In that peaceful, holy place
There ain’t no rabbit holes in heaven
Only love and endless grace
We’ll be free from all confusion
In the warmth of His embrace

I've been tangled in my worries
Caught in webs of my own fears
Trying, trying to break free
But it's taken all these years

CHORUS:
There ain't no rabbit holes in heaven
No more falling down or endless chase
Just a light that keeps on shining
In that peaceful, holy place
There ain’t no rabbit holes in heaven
Only love and endless grace
We’ll be free from all confusion
In the warmth of His embrace

So I’ll keep my eyes on heaven
Where the skies are always blue
No more rabbit holes to fall in
Just a path that’s straight and true
Just a path that’s straight and true

This is a really nice insightful uplifting lyric. Funny how you found this in a grocery line! Grab 'em where you find 'em. Hope we hear this!

Songwriters find inspiration everywhere. When an imaginative line gets dropped in a grocery lineup or wherever, grab it and make gold.

I can imagine the music for this, but I don't have time left to do it. Hopefully someone will step up and do it for you. One suggestion - in the chorus, "In that peaceful, holy place" works better than "In that peaceful, spiritual place".

These lyrics really speak to me - we actually have a rabbit hole I am very careful to avoid - but I don't have the heart to fill it in yet. Beautiful writing - great theme, excellent use of that overheard phrase which is golden, and I really like all the action in the song - chasing, falling, twist and turn, tangled, caught - such great imagery and also so in line with the theme of the song. I would like to set this one to music if it is still available!
