"Even though this is not a Spanish album, we wanted a song that would communicate that yes, I am Hispanic, and I do have a little chile running through my veins. The title means 'a heavenly place,' and the lyrics say things like, 'when all my skies are gray, I simply steal away.' It's about bringing a little bit of heaven right where you are." -- Jaci Velasquez

Sometimes I realize, when I gaze in the skies,
This spinning world is not my home.
A place of mystery, a land of destiny
Is where I know one day I'll go.
I dream of beauty I have never seen.
I know the arms of heaven wait for me
And yet I feel its sweetness here and now
In this live on earth I have found.

Un lugar celestial, [A heavenly place]
Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Un lugar celestial, [A heavenly place]
Where the presence of my Father holds me in His love.
Un lugar celestial. [A heavenly place]

When all my skies are gray, I simply steal away
Into my secret hiding place.
When hearts are cold as ice, the breath of paradise
Blows warm and gentle on my face.
I know I need my time alone with Him,
His healing waters flowing deep within.
Don't have to wish upon a distant star,
'Cause the light of love fills my heart.

Un lugar celestial, [A heavenly place]
Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Un lugar celestial, [A heavenly place]
Where the presence of my Father holds me in His love.
Un lugar celestial. [A heavenly place]

Ooo ooo ooo (El cielo me llama) [Heaven is calling me]
Ooo ooo ooo (Caminando en las nubes) [Walking on the clouds]
Ooo ooo ooo (Dulce beso de libertad) [Sweet kiss of liberty]
Ooo ooo ooo (Nubes de gloria) [Clouds of glory]
Un lugar celestial. [A heavenly place]
Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Un lugar celestial, [A heavenly place]
Where the presence of my Father holds me in His love.
Un lugar celestial, [A heavenly place]
Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Un lugar celestial, [A heavenly place]
Where the presence of my Father holds me in His love.
Un lugar celestial. [A heavenly place]
