We are children of paradise,
When the lord created us
All his work was through,
Then the children of paradise
Did the only thing they really shouldn't do.
Children of paradise –
We started out there,
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care.
We are children of paradise,
We knew of no crime
Until one of the meanest lies
Has changed our time.
It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began with Adam and Eve.
They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel
No trouble no grief.
We are children of paradise,
When the lord created us
All his work was through,
Then the children of paradise
Did the only thing they really shouldn't do.
Oh, oh oh oh…
We are the children of paradise
Who didn't obey,
When we followed the wrong advise
We wandered astray.
We are the children of paradise
In search of the light.
