Children Of Paradise
In a room on the other side of this town
Lives a girl who is hoping her luck will change
Sews a button on a ragged old hand-me-down
She's alone but her heart is open
So long with love unspoken
But that sell will soon be broken
Say a prayer for the children of paradise
Born naked in a world of fire and ice
Sing a song for the little ones
As they blow their horns
And they beat their drums
Say a prayer for the children of paradise
On the street near the river of no return
Where the old break free and the young still yearn
Lives a boy with a fire in his belly that burns
All this life he's been taking orders
Back in' down for the dimes and quarters
But tonight he's join' 'cross those borders
Say a prayer for the children of paradise
Born naked in a world of fire and ice
Sing a song for the little ones
As they blow their horns
And they beat their drums
Say a prayer for the children of paradise
And when the night is falling
You can see the shadows crawling
As the church bell strikes eleven
Two strangers reach to heaven
Lives a girl who is hoping her luck will change
Sews a button on a ragged old hand-me-down
She's alone but her heart is open
So long with love unspoken
But that sell will soon be broken
Say a prayer for the children of paradise
Born naked in a world of fire and ice
Sing a song for the little ones
As they blow their horns
And they beat their drums
Say a prayer for the children of paradise
On the street near the river of no return
Where the old break free and the young still yearn
Lives a boy with a fire in his belly that burns
All this life he's been taking orders
Back in' down for the dimes and quarters
But tonight he's join' 'cross those borders
Say a prayer for the children of paradise
Born naked in a world of fire and ice
Sing a song for the little ones
As they blow their horns
And they beat their drums
Say a prayer for the children of paradise
And when the night is falling
You can see the shadows crawling
As the church bell strikes eleven
Two strangers reach to heaven
