Hitting my 30’s has made this song resonate with me so much. There is so much to unpack in the grand scheme of life with all of the beautiful, horrible, and surreal experiences you go through. I always get lost in her music, but this one in particular has me coming back at 3am to replay and ponder what it all means.
Thank you Kacey for the free therapy and reflection time.

Even something as small as an apple
It's simple and somehow complex
Sweet and divine
The perfect design
Can I speak to the architect?
And there's a canyon that cuts through the desert
Did it get there because of a flood?
Was it devised or were you surprised
When you saw how grand it was?
Was it thought out at all
Or just paint on a wall
Is there anything that you regret?
I don't understand
Are there blueprints or plans
Can I speak to the architect?
Sometimes, I look in the mirror
And wish I could make a request
Could I pray it away
Am I shapable clay
Or is this as good as it gets?
One day, you're on top of the mountain
So high that you'll never come down
Then the wind at your back
Carries ember and ash
That burns your whole house to the ground
Is it thought out at all
Or just paint on a wall
Is there anything that you regret?
I don't understand
Are there blueprints or plans
Can I speak to the architect?
I thought that I was too broken
And maybe too hard to love
I was in a weird place
Then I saw the right face
And the stars and the planets lined up
Does it happen by chance
Is it all happenstance
Do we have any say in this mess?
Is it too late
To make some more space
Can I speak to the architect?
This life that we make, is it random or fate
Can I speak to the architect?
Is there an architect?

The most important lyric is the last lyric, "Is there an architect?". The answer is we don't know until we die. And that begs the question, if we die and we just die, we'll never find out anyway, right?. It's all a mystery. Our whole lives it is instilled in us that there is some almighty being that watches over us, takes care of us and there is a Heavenly place we go to. We can only hope that we see our loved ones again in that place! But Is there a place!? Why do we go though so much pain, if there is a higher entity that could help us? In the meantime we should just think , as Kacey says in "Heaven Is", of what reality is here as we are living on this earth and love our loved ones here while we can and do the best we can.

I'm a gay man who grew up Southern Baptist. When I realized that I was gay and not really welcomed in the church, I ran away. Now in my early 30s I can feel myself being drawn back to the comfort God provided me in those early years. Kacey does an impeccable job on this song getting those feelings I have now out in the open.
