Paradise lyrics

There’s a thousand roads that get you there and each one looks the same,
and with every step you’re thinking: Should you have gone the other way?
There are those who give direction, even though they’re lost themselves,
and those that finally get there never leave no trace or trail.
So, if you’re searching for some peace of mind,
out in a world that’s cold and unkind,
hoping someone will throw you a sign...
Paradise is a hard place to find.

There are wise men who tell you, it’s up there in the sky.
But I’ve flown enough airplanes... it looks like that's a lie.
There are those that think it’s here and now. What you do with everyday.
We better make the best of living, we’re gonna die for sure some day.
Searching for some peace of mind, out in a world that is cold and unkind.
Hoping someone will show us a sign.
Paradise is a hard place to find.
It's a hard place. A hard place.
Hard place to find.

I'm not trying to be a prophet, I'm not trying to change your mind
But I think that kind of searching could be a pleasant waste of time.
There are those who have religion that tells them how to live each day.
Yes they believe in Paradise all they have to do is pray.
But me, myself, I’m tired. I don’t really need to know.
Just as long as I’m still breathing and I’ve got somewhere to go.
Searching for peace of mind.
Out in a world that is cold and unkind,
Hoping someone will throw me a line.
Paradise is a hard place.
Paradise is a hard place,
a hard place to find.
