Where Is Paradise

(Verse 1) I've been searching all my life for that perfect place Where the sun shines bright and there's peace on every face Thought I'd find it in the city with the neon lights so bright But the concrete and the chaos kept me up all night

(Verse 2) Tried the mountains and the valleys, tried the ocean shore Every postcard perfect sunset left me wanting more Asked a preacher and a poet, asked a wise old man They all smiled and said "Son, you'll understand"

(Chorus) Where is paradise, is it somewhere far away? Or is it in the simple moments of an ordinary day? Maybe it's not a destination on some distant map Maybe paradise is right here where I'm at Where is paradise?

(Verse 3) Found it in my mama's kitchen on a Sunday afternoon In the laughter of my children underneath a harvest moon In the way my woman holds me when the world gets too unkind Paradise was always there, I was just too blind

(Chorus) Where is paradise, is it somewhere far away? Or is it in the simple moments of an ordinary day? Maybe it's not a destination on some distant map Maybe paradise is right here where I'm at Where is paradise?

(Bridge) It's not about the money or the things that we can buy It's about the love we give and the tears we cry It's in the morning coffee and the evening prayer Paradise is everywhere if we just stop and care

(Final Chorus) Where is paradise, it's not somewhere far away It's in the simple moments of an ordinary day It's not a destination on some distant map Paradise is right here where I'm at Where is paradise? It's right here where I'm at

(Outro) Been searching all my life, now I finally see Paradise was always here with me
