Lyrics
Long Way To Paradise
It's a long long way to Paradise.
I traveled far but I haven't reached the end of the line.
It's a long long road I know.
Steppin' hard but movin' slow.
It's a long long road I know to Paradise.
I met some people who practice being cold as ice.
They'll find somebody but usually pay the price.
It's a long long road I know.
Steppin' hard but movin' slow.
It's a long long road I know to Paradise.
You won't find your way with your head stuck up in the sky.
Too many people talkin', Nobody's listening..
Now I wonder why...
It's a long long road I know.
Steppin' hard but movin' slow.
It's a long long road I know to Paradise.
I took some lessons from some friends a little older than I.
They said it's always best to be yourself than living a lie...
It's a long long road I know.
Steppin' hard but movin' slow.
It's a long long road I know to Paradise.
