Men seek paradise everywhere That may be a foolish whim to want For communities are so dissimilar News shows these facts every day
Men seek paradise everywhere And war must force the way Ah, we could learn from ancient lessons For everything comes with a price to pay
Men seek paradise everywhere Yet you may never find this side It’s a question of life, it’s a quest for a sign To find a lost paradise again
Searching for that place on earth a place where injustice doesn’t exist Where humanity peacefully coexists Without war, fear and hatred
Searching for that place on earth I was trying to build it through wealth Looking for abundance waiting for me Paradise… it seemed a bit closer
Searching for that place on earth I was looking for comfort and safety And started building my sanctuary Paradise… it felt a bit closer
Searching for the side of the promised land I found many things, but not paradise Because wanting everything is a hard demand Paradise… it seemed lost forever
I found myself searching most of my life for a glimpse or a piece of paradise I looked up to the ethereal skies And many silent tears I cried
For the sight of this place called paradise Seemed inconceivable to accomplish Until I stopped looking outside of me For inside is where I at last found it
When I sought with new eyes I found paradise…
For it’s all in the heart of inner love Where your true paradise lies
