Lyrics
Trouble In Paradise
Words and Music by Gary Lee Morris
Paradise is an island found in the middle of the sea
Across "De Pond" from the USA, it's home to you and for me
But some they don't appreciate what we have in our hands
They seem set to depreciate, ruin our beautiful land
Though there's still sugar,and some spice
There's Trouble in Paradise
Once our island was safe and sound,peacefull as it could be
But it seems things have turned around,it's a sad sight to see
Don't you know we can turn it back, if we work on it fast
But we need to cooperate or for sure it won't last
Though there's still sugar,and some spice
There's Trouble in Paradise
As I wish you a fond farewell,hope to see you again
Don't let trouble in paradise get you down my good friend
Those who cause our trouble and strife and our adversity
Are a very small percentage of a minority
