When the Price Is Paid

Paradise,

Is a place

Much better,

Than this

It is a place,

Where perfect things,

Actually exist

But you can't obtain something,

As rare as it,

Without paying a heavy price,

And I'm determined to pay that price

I'll give it all up,

And walk down the thorny lane

I'll jump over the obstacles,

And even dance in the rain

I'll watch for a clear blue sky

while waiting for the darkness to fade

I'll fight with all I've got,

Until the price is paid

However, I won't obtain it

Unless I truly believe

That the only thing that,

Can admit me to paradise,

Is the Lord's mercy

So I'll continue walking,

down the one way lane

I'll jump over the obstacles,

And even dance in the rain,

I'll hide from the burning sun,

Whenever I find shade,

And with the Lord's mercy,

The price will be paid.
