Children of Paradise

Like the crashing of a wave
On the shores of consciousness
We're alive and we're awake to the world
And with the gift of love we're blessed

'Cause we can be
Yes, we can be
We can be children of paradise
Children of paradise

In the twinkling of an eye
Or the turning of the page
Comes the moment when
Our time has arrived
We can never be the same

We can be
Yes, we can be
We can be children of paradise
Children of paradise

And all I know
Is we're still climbing up that hill
And all we need to sustain us
Is love of love, the light of life
And the faith to know we can heal
Like children

Through the violence and the rage
By the grace of love be still
And the spirit that breaks free from the cage
Is the one they cannot kill

'Cause we can be
Yes, we can be
We can be children of paradise
Children of paradise
Children of paradise
Children of paradise
