In putting the meaning of the song into the context of life, it really gives an

explicit refection in discovering the essence of life in this world and life in heaven, the
two realities that every man is entitled to understand rationally. The song is based on
the real story of a father who had lost his 4 year-old son by accident. The first two
stanza vividly shows the deep sorrow of a father eventhough he has a conviction that he
must be strong knowing that his son is now in heaven.
Being human, it is logical and natural that we can feel so much pain and sorrow
of loosing our immediate family like what had happened of a father in the song. But in a
Christian doctrine, when a child died prior to the awareness of making a sin, it
undoubtedly will go to heaven with the Creator.Thats why the father is asking his son
Would you know my name if I saw u in heaven? Would it be that same if I saw in
heaven? Precisely, the father knows and affirms that , unlike his son, he is a sinner. The
fathers humble acceptance of being imperfect is actually setting an example to all of us
that we must strive and do more for our salvation in heaven.
Furthermore, as the song goes along the way, there is a sort of reconcilition as
stated in the lyrics Beyond the door, theres peace Im sure, and I know there will be
no more tears in heaven. That reconciliatory words express reality that life is really
meaningful because of trials, pains, sufferings and challenges along the way on the
journey of this material world. But in a midst of all these, beyond the dark, there is a light
of hope that brings happiness and joy. Also, It adds for understanding that inspite of all
the challenges in life, we always believe that in heaven, after the worldly life, there is
evelasting happiness.
Lastly, as the song emphasized time can bring you down,time can bend
your knees, time can break your heart, we must not forget that we are
controlled by the time. It is also the time that heals the wound. If we try to
accept the natural sense of life in this world as composed of sadness and
joy, then it is understood that whatever circumstances may arise we are
olws hoping that proper and due time will come to confront it. And of course,
it must be in abiding with personal effort in order to achieve desirable
outcome or solution. We must be always vigilant to be critical and logical in
everything that comes. In confronting the realities of life, reasons and faith
in the Almighty Father in heaven must prevail in seeking the truth. To this,
therefore, we must be olws realized and convinced that in heaven, tears no
more.

Boulevard
I dont know why, You said goodbye
Just let me know you didnt go forever my love
Please tell me why, You make me cry
I beg you please I'm on my knees if that's what you want
me to
Chorus:
Never knew that it would go so far
When you left me on that boulevard
Come again you would release my pain
And we could be lovers again
Just one more chance, Another dance
And let me feel it isnt real that Ive been losing you
This sun will rise, Within your eyes
Come back to me and we will be happy together
Chorus
Maybe today, Ill make you stay
A little while just for a smile and love together
For I will show, A place I know
In Tokyo where we could be happy forever
