Paradise

Looking out through hungry eyes, chasing down that perfect dream Searching for a new sunrise, when we can just drift downstream Tracking down the easy ride, thirsty for those clear blue skies And in the end we rarely ever dare just to be aware, we're all looking for paradise, paradise Sometimes life can feel so cruel, stuck with no escape in view We can play it by the rules, still it's hard sometimes to see it through Betting on that lucky day, when we can try it on for size I've gotta say, with no shades of gray, that's just another way, we're all looking for paradise Paradise, paradise, hidden away like some cosmic prize Paradise, paradise, living here always behind our eyes Oh how we try to make some sense of this cosmic human plight We wear our truth, as our best defense against the dying of the light We look ahead, at our own expense, as we miss the present view This future dread, leaves us on the fence, as if there's nothing we can do
