Paradise

Icehouse

One step that takes you closer to heaven

One road that stretches out ahead

One word that drives you to the point of decision

One wave that closes on a drowning man

One man who never knew the meaning of resistance

So now the turning tide will take another prayer to paradise

Tonight, a mist is rolling with the river

Tonight, the rain is coming down

Tonight, you reach out to the point of decision

One wave that closes on a drowning man

A man who never knew the meaning of resistance

And now the turning tide will take another prayer

And where it falls, nobody knows

Oh, paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise

One step that takes you closer to heaven

This wave that closes on a drowning man

A man who never knew the meaning of forever

So now the turning tide will take another prayer

And where it falls, nobody goes

To paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise, one prayer

To paradise, one prayer to paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise
