Paradise

I tuned in to the tv once again today Watch the news to educate my mind The destruction and the chaos that confronted me It's our world caught in it's own demise (As I sat there I began to cry) The situation worsens every day that goes by (And I thought how can this be, Lord why) So heavy on me all those that are hurting inside If I had a dollar for every heart that's broken For every word of love unspoken For every childhood dream that's never realize If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing And all the ways we could be moving on Maybe I could buy you paradise Just to see some hope in your eyes Sometimes life it seems a bit too much for me More things we must survive on top of all that we had before Broken hearts, broken homes, kids abused left alone So many in the streets, homeless with no food to eat (I know God hears us crying out) Run to Him for all the answers, don't turn away (If we look to Him there is no doubt) He'll give us all the help we need, he knows the way, still if I If I had a dollar for every heart that's broken For every word of love unspoken For every childhood dream that's never realize If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing And all the ways we could be moving on Maybe I could buy you paradise Just to see some hope in your eyes There are so many troubles, God knows what we need to do He has us in His hands, knows what we are going through Silver and gold have I none, what I have I give to you His word says we can make it and I know His word is true Here's to the hurting souls and for all the broken hearts All those who've been abused, who's life has been torn apart I don't have all the answers, what I have I gladly give It's in him there is life, if in him we live and if I If I had a dollar for every heart that's broken For every word of love unspoken For every childhood dream that's never realize If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing And all the ways we could be moving on Maybe I could buy you paradise Just to see some hope in your eyes --- Paradise - Out of Eden
