Track 4: The Paradise

"The Paradise"

[Jack Wolf]

I had a dream

I climbed the Everest with shine on my eyes

Kissed my man like it was my last day alive

I felt like nobody could stop my ride

I had a dream

We danced on the street like nobody was around

We made fun of the motherf*ckers we just found

We could hear thousands of applauses from the crowd

I had a dream

But I wish everything on the dream to be real

Everybody would feel the things that I feel

I could hold their hearts with my arms of steel

I had a dream

Every weak human would get strong and rise

Everybody could be happy with no price

For God, I swear this would be the so-dreamed paradise

I had a dream

You said you loved me in every single way

You fell on your knees and started to pray

Pray for me, so I'd forever be OK

I had a dream

Dozens of summer nights I had with my friends

Blowing this sh*t up until the world ends

And on the sunrise, we would all hold our hands

But you wake me up saying we need to talk

Fear goes up my throat as I walk

All I can think about is "I'm so f*cked up"

And this is not a dream

And this is not a dream

And this is not a dream, no, it's real

Where are the birds? Where's the glory?

I thought I could really meet paradise

Where are the birds? Where's the glory?

I thought I could really meet paradise

God, don't wake me up, just don't wake me up

I really still wanna meet paradise

But, God, you woke me up, I got my eyes open

And what I see is not even close of the so-dreamed paradise
