This Side of Paradise Songtext
von First Call

This world has its pleasure
It has its pain
There are moments to treasure
And tests of our faith
But each soul holds the memory of the glory of God′s face
Echoes of how we began

There are traces of Eden
Here where we need them
This side, this side of Paradise
There are places of freedom
And love to believe in
This side, this side of Paradise

Can the flesh and the spirit
Be reconciled
Can we make our peace
With the meek and the wild
In the heart that is placed in every mortal mother's child
This heart that is waiting for you


There are traces of Eden
Here where we need them
This side, this side of Paradise
There are places of freedom
And love to believe in
This side, this side of Paradise

And time only strengthens the covenant made
It′s a promise unbroken to me

There are traces of Eden
Here where we need them
This side, this side of Paradise
There are places of freedom
And love to believe in
This side, this side of Paradise

There are traces of Eden
Here where we need them
This side, this side of Paradise
There are places of freedom
And love to believe in
This side, this side of Paradise
