Paradise Songtext
von Pat Appleton

Rags and ruins
Cover the street
My culture lies shattered beneath my feet
Open caverns where my life used to be
How come I was spared? Why was I saved?
Why me?
Why me?
Why me?

It′s modern to stay flexible in order to survive
The search for the greater good is what keeps hope alive
But then there's suddenly that point of no return
And it′s time to fight back, to retaliate
Now's your time to burn

As I prepare, I look ahead
And wash my hands from sin
'Cause I will dream, dream, dream of paradise
I dream, dream, dream, dream


Paradise, that′s the way
They tell me that it′s supposed to be
Hanging gardens, fruits and flowers
And all those pretty things
All there just for me
And I dream, dream, dream of paradise
That's what this world has laid out for me
Angels in the garden of perpetual bliss
That′s how they tell me that it's gonna be

Shards of sweet freedom
Lie beneath my feet
My future broken on the street
Empty windows, silent witnesses of where life used to be
I wish I wasn′t saved
Why was I spared?
Why me?
Why me?

You have to be thankful if you want to survive
The search of the greater good is what keeps hope alive
But then there's suddenly that point of no return
And it′s time to fight back, to retaliate
Now's your time to burn
On the harm, to put to shame
On the harm, for those to blame

As I prepare, I look ahead
And wash my hands from sin
'Cause I will dream, dream, dream of paradise


I dream, dream, dream, dream, dream
Paradise, that′s the way
They tell me that it′s supposed to be
Hanging gardens, fruits and flowers
And all those pretty things
All there just for me

And I will dream, dream, dream of paradise
That's how this world has laid out for me
Angels in the garden of perpetual bliss
That′s how they tell me that it's gonna be

And I′ll dream, dream, dream
And I'll dream, dream, dream
And I′ll dream, dream, dream
And I'll dream, dream, dream
And I'll dream, dream, dream
And I′ll dream, dream, dream
Paradise, that′s the way
They tell me that it's supposed to be
Paradise
Only just for me
