"Paradise" lyrics

My momma said to pray to keep my head level
I always loved to break the rules
There comes a day for us to meet our own devil
I'm out here looking like a fool

Too far from home
We drifted away
I thought I was clever
I questioned my faith
Strayed for too long, but you showed me the way
Made me feel special
With you I'm prepared to do it again

Now let's stand up were born to rise
And we'll light up the world tonight
When we're down and we can't get up
We'll be reaching for paradise
Wooooah
We'll be praying
When the time comes
In the end we'll all be one love
Keep on praying
When time comes
Reaching for paradise

I'm an imperfect design
Kneeling to heaven and looking for signs
I hope that I'm making you proud
I don't even know what they're laying about
Only my mom knows the feeling
Put up your hands and rise to the ceiling
Even when coming to odds
Fold up your prayers and send them to god

Too far from home
We drifted away
I thought I was clever
Questioned my faith
Strayed for too long
But you showed me the way
Made me feel special
With you I'm prepared to do it again

Now let's stand up were born to rise
And we'll light up the world tonight
When we're down and we can't get up
We'll be reaching for paradise
Wooooah
We'll be praying
When the time comes
In the end we'll all be one love
Keep on praying when time comes
Reaching for paradise
