Song Meaning of “Where Were You Last Night / Heaven Is A Place On Earth / Livin´On A Prayer Medley – Live At Teatro El Círculo, Rosario, Argentina/2012” by Tarja
Verse 1:
Where were you last night, oh, I fought to stay afloat
In the lonely darkness of the night, with no relief in sight?
The fear was so strong and the past came back in waves,
Reminding me of what I had been through and all that I had faced.
Chorus:
Heaven is a place on Earth, far away where the angels stand,
A bright light in the darkness that’s a friend to hold your hand.
To give you strength to carry on and carry on despite the pain,
Until your dreams come true and life isn’t just a distant game.
Verse 2:
I tried to keep going, but I was so lost and alone,
Worried that I’d never make it to a place that I called home.
The feeling of hopelessness could have taken my breath away,
But I found something on the other side, the power to stay in the fray.
Chorus:
Heaven is a place on Earth, far away where the angels stand,
A bright light in the darkness that’s a friend to hold your hand.
To give you strength to carry on and carry on despite the pain,
Until your dreams come true and life isn’t just a distant game.
Bridge:
Believe in yourself and fight for a better tomorrow,
Livin’ on a prayer and keep livin’ each new day.
Things can change, the dark days can turn into bright days.
Never give up and keep looking for a better way.
Chorus:
Heaven is a place on Earth, far away where the angels stand,
A bright light in the darkness that’s a friend to hold your hand.
To give you strength to carry on and carry on despite the pain,
Until your dreams come true and life isn’t just a distant game.
This song is about the struggles of life and how it can be hard to stay afloat in the darkest of times. Tarja weaves a beautiful and emotional story of one person’s fight against their own struggles. The chorus is a powerful reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, there is a brighter tomorrow and that heaven is a place on earth where the angels stand. It is a reminder to never give up and keep looking for a better way.
