Icehouse - Paradise lyrics

One step that takes you closer to heaven One road that stretches out ahead One word that drives you to the point of decision One wave that closes on a drowning man One man who never knew the meaning of resistance So now the turning tide will take another prayer to paradise Tonight, a mist is rolling with the river Tonight, the rain is coming down Tonight, you reach out to the point of decision One wave that closes on a drowning man A man who never knew the meaning of resistance And now the turning tide will take another prayer And where it falls, nobody knows Oh, paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise One step that takes you closer to heaven This wave that closes on a drowning man A man who never knew the meaning of forever So now the turning tide will take another prayer And where it falls, nobody goes To paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise, one prayer To paradise, one prayer to paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise
