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're children of paradise we knew of no crime
Until one of the meanest lines 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
Children of Paradise we started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes and without a care
We're children of paradise in search of the light
That was put out in paradise and started the night
REPEAT THIRD VERSE
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
Aah
We're children of paradise who didn't obey
When we followed the wrong advice we wandered astray
We're children of paradise in search of the light
That was put out in paradise and started the night
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
