Paradise Lyrics - Icehouse

One step (one step) that takes you closer to heaven 

One road (one road) that stretches out ahead 

One word (one word) that drives you to the point of decision 

One wave (one wave) that closes on a drowning man 

One man who never knew the meaning of resistance 

So now the turning tide will take another prayer 2 paradise (paradise) 

Tonight (tonight), a mist is rolling with the river 

Tonight (tonight), the rain is coming down 

Tonight (tonight), you reach out to the point of decision 

One wave (one wave) that closes on a drowning man 

A man who never knew the meaning of resistance 

And now the turning tide will take another prayer 

And where it falls...nobody knows... 

Oh paradise (oh paradise, oh paradise) 

Oh paradise (oh paradise, oh paradise) 

Oh paradise (oh paradise, oh paradise) 

Oh paradise (oh paradise, oh paradise) 

One step that takes you closer to heaven 

This wave that closes on a drowning man 

A man who never knew the meaning of forever 

So now the turning tide will take another prayer 

And where it falls...nobody goes...
