Story Behind The Song
Through all the negative aspects of modern day life I saw a picture in my mind's eye of a day when children will play with lions and tigers. This represented the goodness of the Gospel and the everlasting hope we have to be in Paradise.

Lyrics
Paradise

I had a dream yesterday, of a time
When all the tears will dry from our eyes
There?ll be no more killing there, no more death or pain
For the former things have passed away
I see the little children there, they?re so happy
With the lions and tigers by their sides
There is peace and happiness, a feeling I cannot explain
Something only that could happen in a dream
Except in Paradise, a place I wish you could see
Is Paradise, where we will be so free
In Paradise, where the light will always shine
Won?t you open up your eyes, and believe it in your heart . . . in Paradise
There?s an awesome city there, a place where we shall live
Just close your eyes and believe
We?ll drink the living water there, everyday
And sing our hearts to Him upon the throne
In Paradise, a place I wish you could see
Is Paradise, where we shall be so free
In Paradise, where the light will always shine
Won?t you open up your eyes, and believe it in your heart . . in Paradise ?..Paradise . . . Paradise . . . in Paradise.
