 Verse: G C G Z
 Like the crashing of a wave on the shores of consciousness,
 G                                        
 We're alive and we're awake to the world,
 C                               D             
 And with the gift of love we're blessed. Cos..
 
 Chorus: D C D C D C G Z
 We can be, yes we can be, we can be children of paradise.
 C           G        
 Children of paradise.
 
 Verse:
 In the twinkling of an eye or the turning of a page,
 Comes the moment when our time has arrived.
 We can never be the same.
 
 Chorus (repeat)
 
 Bridge: Bm C G D
 And all I know is we're still climbing up that hill
     Bm     C                     G                 D             
 And all we need to sustain us is love of love, the light of life,
         Em                   A7            C   D7   
 And the faith to know we can heal.... like children.
 
 Verse:
 Through the violence and the rage, by the grace of love be still.
 And the spirit that breaks free from the cage
 Is the one they cannot kill.
 
 Chorus: (repeat)
 End: ZC G Z G
 Children of paradise children of paradise.
