Some things can't be explained like you'd like 'em to be

I find it's easier to curse than pray

But I feel I can't escape what you've done for me

I don't understand why



You traded paradise for poverty

Created all and laid it all on the line for me

I'm just an ordinary heart and soul

You bridged an ocean to stand in my place



So, how do I find this kind of love inside?

Why do I want it to belong to me?

When I've heard the words I love you so many times

It's hard to believe



You traded paradise for poverty

Created all and laid it all on the line for me

I'm just and ordinary heart and soul

You bridged and ocean to stand in my place

I needed someone to stand

In my lonely place

A familiar face

A warm embrace

A saving grace

You demonstrated how true love should be

By loving me

Unselfishly, yeah!



Stand in my place!



You traded paradise for poverty

Created all and laid it all on the line for me

I'm just and ordinary heart and soul

You bridged and ocean to stand in my place

You traded paradise for poverty

Created all and laid it all on the line for me

I'm just and ordinary heart and soul

You bridged and ocean to stand in my place

You traded paradise for poverty

Created all and laid it all on the line for me

I'm just and ordinary heart and soul

You bridged and ocean to stand in my place

You traded paradise for poverty

Created all and laid it all on the line for me

I'm just and ordinary heart and soul

You bridged and ocean to stand in my place
