Dm
We are Children of Paradise
          C
When the Lord created us, all his work was through
Dm
Then the Children of Paradise
        C
Did the only thing they really shouldn't do

             C
Children of Paradise
               Dm
We started out  there
                  C
Full of innocence in our eyes
               Dm
And without a care
                   C
We're Children of Paradise
               Dm
We knew of no crime
                  C
Until one of the meanest lies
            Dm
Has changed our time

F       C
It was long ago
Gm            D
In the early morning glow
F              C
When it all began
              Dm
With Adam and Eve
F          C
They were young and free
Gm            D
And for all eternity
F                   C
They were meant to feel
                Dm
No trouble, no grief

Children of Paradise
We started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care
We're Children of Paradise
In search of the light
That was put out in Paradise
And started the night

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel
No trouble, no grief

We are Children of Paradise
When the Lord created us
All his work was through
Then the Children of Paradise
Did the only thing
They really shouldn't do

Aaahhh...
Aaahhh...
Aaahhh...
Aaahhh...

We're Children of Paradise
Who didn't obey
When we followed the wrong advice
We wandered astray

We're Children of Paradise
In search of the light
That was put out in Paradise
And started the night

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity...
