Like the crashing of a wave
On the shores of consciousness
Were alive and
Were awake to the world
And with the gift of love were blessed
cos we can be
Yes, we can be
We can be
Children of paradise
Children of paradise
In the twinkling of an eye
Or the turning of a page
Comes the moment when
Our time has arrived
We can never be the same
We can be
Yes, we can be
We can be
Children of paradise
Children of paradise
And all I know
Is were still climbing up that hill
And all we need to sustain us
Is love of love
The light of life
And the faith to know we can heal
Like children
Through the violence and the rage
By the grace of love be still
And the spirit that breaks free from the cage
Is the one they cannot kill
We can be
Yes, we can be
We can be
Children of paradise
Children of paradise
