Lyrics

Paradise

[Verse 1]

I've been searching

Seems like so long

For perfection

In a world made wrong

Here it's hard to be strong

It seems like we're heading

Down and down and down

But that's love

[Chorus]

In my life, a million dreams take over

Paradise, a million miles away

[Verse 2]

You've been hurting

And I can see

As the world turns round and round

You spin with me

And when you're down

Hey, don't you know I'm down, too?

Oh, but up or down there's nowhere else I'd rather be

Than with you

[Chorus]

In my mind, a million lies take over

Paradise, a million miles away

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

In my life, a million dreams take over

Paradise, a million miles away

[Outro]

But walking down this lonely road

I stop and think of you

And I can see now

'Cause I believe now

Paradise is true (Paradise)

Paradise is you (Ah, Paradise)

It's in your eye (Ah, Paradise)

It's hard to be strong

In a world made wrong (Ah, Paradise)

If Paradise was half as nice as you (Ah, Paradise)
