[Verse 1] The night was long and heavy for us to bear together, When hope alone kept our trembling at bay. But the sky has shifted, the storm is clearing, The divine Kingdom awaits us at last. Cries and suffering fade away forever, And true life begins on this day of deliverance. [Chorus] Are you ready to live in Paradise? Where the tears of yesterday will be forgotten, For days of peace and a gentle life, Beneath a cerulean sky and along untroubled paths? Are you ready for this new earth, This perfect home for our faithful hearts? A life so beautiful, free from all torment, Sheltered from fear, for all time. Even the beasts, in harmony and wonder, Will live in peace alongside you and me. [Verse 2] These hands, which once reached out for the light, Will build lovely dwellings with our own labor. With doors wide open upon this land of life, Near our loved ones, our cherished families, Our love will grow—stronger, more wondrous— Beneath a pure sun and radiant skies. [Chorus] Are you ready to live in Paradise? Where the tears of yesterday will be forgotten, For days of peace and a gentle life, Beneath a cerulean sky and along untroubled paths? Are you ready for this new earth, This perfect home for our faithful hearts? A life so beautiful, free from all torment, Sheltered from fear, for all time. Even the beasts, in harmony and wonder, Will live in peace alongside you and me. [Bridge] Our eyes will shed tears of joy, As we see those we once loved, once more. Their voices will speak our names again, With arms wide open, free from all pain. They have not departed for eternity; They have simply returned home. [Build-up / Soaring] Are you ready to open your arms wide? To walk without fear, where no one ever leaves? [Final Chorus] Are you ready to live in Paradise? Where the tears of yesterday are forgotten, For days of peace and a gentle life, Beneath a cerulean sky, on paths untouched by strife? Are you ready for this new earth, This perfect home for our faithful hearts? A life so beautiful, free from all torment, Sheltered from fear, for all time. Even the animals, in harmony and wonder, Will live in peace alongside you and me. [Outro] All of this will soon take shape and form, When the Kingdom comes to turn the page, Sweeping away the vain governments of men, And erasing the borders beneath the heavens. Across the whole earth, united and filled with delight, Peace and a love for life will reign.
