PARADISE

 

IF EVERY SOUL HAS SOME IDEA

OF THE REASONS WHY ITS HERE

AND A MILLION THINGS THAT MAKE IT WORTH THE PRICE

 

WITH SO MUCH HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH

EVER SINCE IT HAD A BIRTH

YOU CAN PICTURE WHAT IT’S LIKE IN PARADISE

 

IN ALL THE COLORS OF THE SKY

THE TUMBLING OF A RIVER

THE GENTLE TOUCH FROM A LOVING HAND, OR TWO

 

THERE’S A LOT OF GOOD AND BAD

IN ANY PASSING MOMENT

BUT EVEN STILL, IT’S LIKE A PROMISED LAND

 

IN EVERY SOUL THERE’S SOME IDEA

EVEN WHEN IT’S NOT SO CLEAR

OF WHAT IT IS THAT’S WORTH THE SACRIFICE

 

A BIT OF HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH

THANK THE GOOD LORD FOR THIS BIRTH

TO HAVE A SHOT AND ROLL A COUPLE DICE

 

YOU MIGHT HAVE FELT THE PERFECT BLISS

FROM A DEEP, DEEP LOVER’S KISS

OR MAYBE FROM THE SMILE ON A FRIEND, OR TWO

 

THERE’S A LOT OF ECSTASY

EXPERIENCED FOR FREE

DOES A KINGDOM COME EVER HAVE AN END?

 

IN ALL THE GOOD, IN ALL THE BAD

IN ANY PASSING MOMENT

BUT EVEN STILL IT’S LIKE A PROMISED LAND

 

IN EVERY SOUL THERE’S SOME IDEA

OF THE REASONS WHY WE’RE HERE

IN A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IT’S LIKE IN PARADISE

A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IT’S LIKE IN PARADISE
