Paradise Island

Feeling like the blues have come my way
The pressure in my head is here to stay
The race with all the rats who chase the greed
The more you stay you know you'll never leave

The city never sleeps cause it has no time
The beauty and the beast now share the crime
I need a place to go where the air is sweet
An island on the sea in the Philippines

Give me some sunshine
Give me those palm trees
Expand my horizons
On Paradise Island

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Losing reality can set you free
Riding the waves of the deep blue sea

The roads are made of dirt, houses of stone
No TV or A/C, no fridge or phone
Everywhere you look all shades of green
The tallest building is a coconut tree

The children sing and play even in the rain
Everywhere you go we're all the same
The basic elements of the human mind
Peace, joy and love stand the test of time

Give me some sunshine
Give me those palm trees
Tropical Diamond
Paradise Island

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Losing reality can set you free while
You're riding the rhythms of the deep blue sea

And so I leave today a different man
With vivid images of a precious land
And now I think I know what life really means
I say Salamat Po to the Philippines

Give me some sunshine
Give me those palm trees
Expand my horizons
On Paradise Island

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Losing reality can set you free while
you're riding the waves of the deep blue sea
