Lyrics for Heaven Is A Better Place Today as interpreted by OpinionHead

Heaven Is A Better Place Today Lyrics
Here's a glue guy a performance god
A makeshift shrine newly lain sod
Hardly even trying gives the nod

I sure hope I'm not the type to dwell
Hope I'm a fast healer fast as hell
Heaven is a better place today because of this
But the world is just not the same
If and when you get into the endzone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't blame don't say people lose people all the time anymore

A toonie to the busker and a husky 'keep it comin' under my breath
But then said, 'though, if you wouldn't mind,
less crying and more trying more trying and less crying'

I'm not the type to dwell
I'm a fast healer fast as hell
Heaven is a better place today because of this
But the world is just not the same
Oh if and - if and when you get into the endzone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't blame and don't say people lose people all the time anymore

If and when you get into that endzone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't change but don't say people lose people all the time anymore

It's just not the same because of this
It's not the same

Aww, I'm sad nobody wrote about this yet! This song was written for Dan Snyder, the Thrashers/Wolves played who died Oct. 5th, 2003 after sustaining injuries in a car accident with Dany Heatley. This song is frequently played at Wolves games because Dan played on Chicago for a while. The song talks about how the accident has affected the players, the hockey community and Heatley's life, such as when it says "I sure hope I'm not the type to dwell, im a fast healer fast as hell", it's talking about the community and team coming together in spite of the accident. and "If and when you get into that endzone" is obviously a hockey reference. Hockey fans, especially us Thrashers/Wolves fans, appreciate and love this song for helping us remember a player we all knew and loved.

You nailed it dead on and beat me to it :P I love the part "Heaven is a better place today becuase of this but the world is just not the same"

Dan is now in heaven and his presence there makes it a better place and in turn, his lack of presence here on earth makes it a slightly worse place. I just love that part :D

Hell, I'm a Hurricanes fan, and I saw someone in a Snyder jersey at a game, and asked him about it, since my since my surname is Snyder, and he told me what happend to Dan...anyway, this song is just awesome, The Tragically Hip couldn't have done any better.

I just wanted to say that I know this song was written for Dan Snyder, but the world lost one of its biggest Tragically Hip fans yesterday. Darcy Robinson, also a hockey player, died suddenly at the age of 26 three minutes into his 3rd season with Asiago of the italian hockey league. I knew Darcy personally and it's a tough loss to bear. I immediately thought of this song when I got word of his passing.

I'll never forget you Darcy. You made me laugh and smile more times than I can count, some of the best memories of my life involve you, and I truly know that heaven is a better place today now that you're there. Rest in peace, Darce. :(
