Lyrics
Searching for Paradise
A land full of light
Where peace always lingers
Where sorrow takes flight
A vision of Eden
So far from the fight
Where Heaven's own blessing
Makes every heart bright
But what is Paradise
Just a place we long to see?
A reward for the righteous
Or a dream of what could be?
Maybe it's something deeper, pure and true
An inner harmony that makes the soul renew
Some search the heavens
With angels above
While others will find
It in kindness and love
A smile that is honest
A touch that is near
A shelter of warmth
Where the heart has no fear
But what is Paradise
Just a place we long to see?
A reward for the righteous
Or a dream of what could be?
Maybe it's something deeper, pure and true
An inner harmony that makes the soul renew
A lover may find it in a smile they adore
A heaven on earth where the spirit can soar
But if love should vanish and sorrow takes hold
The gates of despair leave the heart in the cold
Perhaps Paradise blooms
In the garden within
Where kindness is rooted
And hatred grows thin
Where mercy is sovereign
And compassion will reign
And joy fills the world
Like sunshine through rain
But what is Paradise
Just a place we long to see?
A reward for the righteous
Or a dream of what could be?
Maybe it's something deeper, pure and true
An inner harmony that makes the soul renew
A rebel once envied
The Lord's holy flame
And fell into darkness
Forever in shame
Love and hate battle
Forever at war
Building Heaven or hell
In the hearts we explore
So choose to be angel
Or choose to be foe
And Paradise eternal
Inside you will glow
But what is Paradise?
