We are Children of Paradise
When the Lord created us
All his work was through

Then the Children of Paradise
Did the only thing
They really shouldn't do


Children of Paradise
We started out there

Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care


We're Children of Paradise
We knew of no crime
Until one of the meanest lines

Has changed our time

It was long ago

In the early morning glow
When it all began
With Adam and Eve

They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel

No trouble, no grief

Children of Paradise

We started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care


We're Children of Paradise
In search of the light

That was put out in Paradise
And started the night


It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began

With Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity

They were meant to feel
No trouble, no grief


We are Children of Paradise
When the Lord created us
All his work was through

Then the Children of Paradise
Did the only thing
They really shouldn't do


Aaahhh...


We're Children of Paradise
Who didn't obey
When we followed the wrong advice

We wandered astray

We're Children of Paradise

In search of the light
That was put out in Paradise
And started the night


It was long ago
In the early morning glow

When it all began
With Adam and Eve
They were young and free

And for all eternity...
