Song Description

Life is more than it appears and our Hope is greater than our pain

Lyrics

Paradise

Her father left while she was still crawling ?cross the floor
Her mother left when she was turning two
?Isn?t it a shame??
She heard the voices say
?A girl so very young should be alone?



Chorus

This isn?t Paradise
No one should be alone
Take me far away where flowers bloom

There must be Paradise
Where God speaks to the earth
A place of soil and rock not only dreams

Take me to Paradise


The girl became a woman
And soon she had a boy
But he could never see beyond her eyes

He said he?d meet her there
She felt him squeeze her hand
Then she saw him with another girl

Chorus

Bridge

Remember the night you wept?
I counted every tear
I held you when the boy
He walked away
I saw your gentle heart
The way you made a home
A place where all the children
Came to play


Eighty-five years old
Beauty faded like a flower
To all it seemed her story must be done

But God said, ?Do not weep?
You?re my precious child
And when he held her hand he led her here

Chorus 2

Now this is a Paradise
No one is ever alone
A place where in the winter, flowers bloom

This must be Paradise
Where God speaks to the earth
A place of soil and rock, not only dreams

Take me to Paradise
