The song won the Billboard Music Awards for "Top-Selling Country Single of the Year" and "Top-Selling Hot 100 Song of the Year" (Bice's version was also nominated in this category). It also helped Underwood win the award for "Country Single Sales Artist of the Year". Carrie Underwood's version sold 851,000 copies, while Bo Bice's version sold 401,000.


- Lyrics:

I've been down
Now I'm blessed
felt a revelation comin' around
guess it's right, it's so amazing
every time I see you I'm a live
you're all I've got
you lift me up
the sun and the moonlight
all my dreams are in your eyes

I wanna be inside your heaven
take me to the place you cry from
When a storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
every bit of air your breathin' in
a soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

when we touch, when we love
the stars line up
the wrong becomes undone
naturally, my soul surrenders
the sun and the moonlight
all my dreams are in your eyes

and I wanna be inside your heaven
take me to the place you cry from
when a storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
every bit of air your breathin in
a soothin wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

when minutes turn to days and years
if mountains fall, I'll still be here
holding you until the day I die
I wanna be inside your heaven
take me to the place you cry from
when a storm blows your way

I wanna be inside your heaven

I wanna be inside
when a storm blows your way
I wanna be inside your heaven
take me to the place you cry from
when a storm blows your way
and i wanna be the earth that holds you
every bit of air your breathin in
a soothin wind
I wanna be inside your heaven.
