Paradise

Paradise is here on earth Do u believe thats true? Do the slums of India Seem like paradise to you ? But to those that live there Its paradise i 'm sure, Because they are alive Though very very poor In my minds eye paradise  Is a sea of azure blue Sand the colour of fine gold Can you see it too? But paradise is anywhere That you'll allow it to be. Because paradise means many things Open your eyes and see.   Can you see the beauty of the trees Their limbs that sway to and fro The leaves that cover many a nest Until its time for birds to go Can you see it in a child's face When it smiles and looks around The wag of a dog's  tail  When he hears his masters sound Paradise are all of these It everywhere we are Just have to realise ourselves And open up our heart. The feel of wind about your face These things are sent by god For us to see paradise In every step we've trod. So stop, look, listen Is this paradise you see Or just a noise and bad smells Too much traffic you'll agree. But to many this is paradise Not just a pretty site. Cos they have work and money too Wont have to starve tonight. But to me paradise Would be getting to know you After so many years apart I'm sure it's time we do.
