Fools Paradise
today I sought a peace between two worlds
one distant the other near
for I shed a single tear to numb the inner pain
not having her in my arms was driving me insane
but she was a fool settling for the delights of this world
more then the favor of God
that was her choice so filled with remorse
she dances in a ring of fire
yet throws off its challenge with a shrug
you may want to sweep all of this underneath the rug
still deep inside me there is a glow
for a far off place I wish to go
up with God in heaven above
with his love left valiant in flight
I'll pray for this tonight
now it's at the hour of power a force of reason of full desire
want to take you much higher
digging deeper then ever before lest I implore
another opened door to exit stage left
fools paradise will make you think twice
another chance at which to roll the dice
we left our ego there in the world so fair
but were living in the land of mean
where people scream having long viscous fangs that fright
dripping blood off side
we all want to run away and hide
but to what ?
