Still in Paradise

[Intro]
[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
She's been walking these streets for thirty years now
Same corner, same cardboard sign
Once I looked away, like all the others
But tonight something changed my mind
There's a story behind those weathered eyes
Time hasn't been so kind
Now I wonder how many times I've passed her by
In our paradise

[Pre-Chorus]
And we still turn away
After all this time
Like shadows in the day
In our paradise

[Chorus]
It's just another face in paradise
Just another soul left out in the cold
Oooooohhhh, think twice (think twice)
It's been too many years in paradise
For those we choose not to see
Oooooohhhh, think twice (think twice)
It's just another day for them, another day for me

[Interlude]
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
The same buildings rise high above the sidewalk
The same people rushing home
Three decades gone, but nothing's really changed here
She's still standing there alone
Maybe once she had a different dream
Before the world closed its doors
Now I wonder how many lives have simply passed her by
In our paradise

[Pre-Chorus]x2
And we still look away
After all these years
Like ghosts that cannot stay
In our paradise

[Hook]
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Thirty years of the same decisions
Thirty years of the same divide
We build our walls higher
Call ourselves righteous
While outside
Someone's daughter, someone's mother
Is still waiting for change

[Final Chorus]
It's just another face in paradise
Just another soul left out in the cold
Oooooohhhh, think twice (think twice)
It's been too many years in paradise
For those we choose not to see
Oh, think twice (think twice)
It's just another day for them, another day for me
In our paradise
