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...
