Theres a Whole Lotta Heaven

Iris DeMent

Transposer:

There's a lot of people talking 'bout getting in the glory land way Walking straight and narrow 'cuz they're trying to get to heaven someday But I've been saved by the love of the people living right here And there's a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears We don't got a prophet who can tell us what our future will hold We've only got each other and the love we carry in our souls Though this world's full of trouble and the path we walk is never clear There's still this whole lot of heaven shining in a river of tears There's a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears If you pull back the curtain little diamonds will appear So take your streets of gold if you really want 'em and your mansions so dear But I'll take the whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears Well this life that I'm living is like a ship that don't want to be steered Sometimes I wake up in the morning thinking I could buckle 'neath the weight of my own fears It's some pain some strain and some struggle but I persevere Cause I got a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears There's a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears If you pull back the curtain little diamonds will appear You can take your streets of gold if you really want 'em and your mansions so dear But I'll take the whole lot of heaven it's shining I want the whole lot of heaven it's shining I love the whole lot of heaven it's shining in this river of tears

Cette chanson évoque la recherche de la paix intérieure et du sens face aux difficultés de la vie. Elle souligne que, bien qu'il soit souvent question de routes vers le ciel et de récompenses matérielles, le véritable trésor réside dans les relations humaines et l'amour partagé. L'artiste parle d'une forme de salut qui émerge des larmes et des luttes quotidiennes, soulignant que le bonheur peut se trouver même dans les moments difficiles, lorsque l'on soutient les uns les autres. Le contexte de cette chanson s'inscrit dans une réflexion sur la vie et la spiritualité, particulièrement pour ceux qui traversent des épreuves. Elle rappelle que même sans réponses claires sur l'avenir, l'amour qui existe entre les gens peut illuminer les moments de tristesse, créant une sorte de paradis ici-bas. C'est une belle métaphore de la résilience humaine et de la force de la communauté face à l’adversité.
