The Peak of Paradise Songtext
von Josephine Foster

I reached the peak of paradise
But I was nowhere home
I reached the peak of paradise
And all her clouds we closed

I wondered why, dear Lord
Did I ever try to scale these walls?
He smiled upon his child
Saying, "you just did as you were told"

Who told me lies?
Pray tell me, my Lord
"Poets and all those whose praise
Elevate her so"


Oh, I am amazed
Oh, I am torn
Whether to go in shame
Or to stay and mourn
Oh, I am amazed
Oh, I am torn
Whether to go in shame
Or to stay and mourn

I wondered why, dear Lord
Did I ever try to scale these walls?
He smiled upon his child
Saying, "you just did as you were told"

Who told me lies?
Pray tell me, my Lord
"Poets and all those whose praise
Elevate her so"

Oh, I am amazed
Oh, I am torn
Whether to go in shame
Or to stay and mourn
Oh, I am amazed
Oh, I am torn
Whether to go in shame
Or to stay and mourn
