A Glimpse Of Paridise
A GLIMPSE OF PARADISE
PARADISE IS CALM AND PEACEFUL
A PLACE THAT HAS NO PAIN
SADNESS HAS NO FACE HERE
EVIL HAS NO GAIN
STANDING ON A SHADED HILL
THE TREES ARE BRIGHT AND BOLD
COLORS DANCING IN THE AIR
TOO MANY TO BEHOLD
NEARBY THERE’S A RIVER
THAT’S SHIMMERING IN GOLD
AND IN IT SWIMS A TALKING FISH
FROM PROPHECIES OF OLD
IT KNOWS OF MANY STORIES
AND IT TELLS ME MANY TALES
IT TALKS OF LOFTY GLORIES
AND LEAVES OUT ALL THE FAILS
AND BY THE RIVER A TREE
WHOSE MANY ROOTS RUN DEEP
THEY TANGLE THROUGH THE FERTILE SOIL
WHERE MAGIC CREATURES CREEP
AND ON THIS TREE THERE GROWS A FRUIT
WHOSE MEAT IS SWEET AND GOOD
TO EAT IT MAKES YOU KNOW THE THINGS
YOU NEVER UNDERSTOOD
AND BY THE TREE A WINDING PATH
THAT WANDERS THROUGH THE WOOD
IT TAKES YOU TO A SILVER GATE
TO ENTER THERE IS GOOD
AND ON THE OTHER SIDE A GLADE
A PLACE WERE RAINBOWS HIGH ARE MADE
THEY RISE UP FROM A CRYSTAL POOL
WITH COLORS BRIGHTER THAN A JEWEL
I WALK UPON A RAINBOW'S EDGE
I’M CLIMBING VERY HIGH
I JUMP OFF FROM ITS HIGHEST LEDGE
AND FLOAT WERE ANGELS FLY
LIKE A SNOWFLAKE DESCENDING
OR SO IT MAY SEEM
LIKE THE WING OF A DOVE
THROUGH A BEAUTIFUL DREAM
MY FALL SLOW DESCENDING
LIKE LOVE NEVER-ENDING
MY THOUGHTS ARE SO SEEMING
I FEEL LIKE I’M DREAMING
AND IF THERE IS FEAR
THERE'S NONE OF IT HERE
THE JUDGEMENT IS GONE
FOR HERE, THERE’S NO WRONG
I LAND BY A SEA
WHERE THE LONGBOATS DO SAIL
THEY BECKON TO ME
LIKE A COLD GLASS OF ALE
COME WANDER WITH US
THEY SAY WITH A SMILE
WE’LL SING HAPPY SONGS
AS WE SAIL BY THE MILE
THE SUNSETS ARE BRIGHT
THEY LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
COME WANDER WITH US
IN TIMELESS DELIGHT
SO THIS IS PARADISE
A NICE PLACE TO BE
AND WHEN YOU ARE READY
COME WANDER WITH ME.
