return to paradise
(Bainbridge)

1.

There is a man who is sure we are damned to oblivion
Despises the cruel world he’s living in, with nothing left to learn
He’s ringing his hands, says he’s done all he can, now he’ll never know
Never see his children grow, he’s quietly waiting his turn

 Chorus:

But all that we can do is return to paradise
When every soul will awake to a bright new day
And all that we’ve been through will turn to paradise
The best in us will surely show the way

 2.

She sits on her hands and she watches the sand fall through a little hole
Feeling like she’s growing old, like the change just drags her down
But one day she’ll wake up to witness a life in the best of worlds
The laughter she knew as a little girl will be the only sound

 ‘Cause all that we can do is return to paradise………(repeat chorus)

3.

He watches the sky and he worries that we are the only ones
Waiting on the setting sun to burn the seeds we’ve sown
He’s worried it’s all been for nothing but I know that’s not the case
We’re paving the way and the human race is a beautiful stepping stone

 (Chorus)
