Tell me, what does it look like in heaven? This poignant question opens the heart-wrenching yet ultimately hopeful song, “Dancing in the Sky,” performed by the talented sister duo Dani and Lizzy. These lyrics resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced loss, offering a comforting vision of peace and joy beyond earthly sorrows.
Tell me, what does it look like in heaven?
Is it peaceful? Is it free like they say?
Does the sun shine bright forever?
Have your fears and your pain gone away?
'Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left
And here on earth everything's different
There's an emptiness
Oh-oh, I
I hope you're dancing in the sky
And I hope you're singing in the angels' choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you've arrived
The song continues, painting a picture of a blissful afterlife where loved ones are free from pain and filled with joy. The lyrics explore the curiosity and longing to know about heaven, while simultaneously expressing a hopeful affirmation of the departed’s happiness.
So tell me, what do you do up in heaven?
Are your days filled with love and light?
Is there music? Is there art and invention?
Tell me are you happy? Are you more alive?
'Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left
And here on earth everything's different, there's an emptiness
Oh-oh, I
I hope you're dancing in the sky
And I hope you're singing in the angels' choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you've arrived
Since you've arrived
I hope you're dancing in the sky
And I hope you're singing in the angels' choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you've arrived
Since you've arrived
Tell me what does it look like in heaven
Is it peaceful? Is it free like they say?
