Form me from the humble earth
Shape me from the simple dirt
Of paradise
If I'm lost then track me down
Redemptions breathe can still be found
Miss the sound of Gods footsteps
Longing for His sim
Simple tread in paradise
Verse 2:
Dont want to age or ever die
Lord, if I'm the apple of your eye wheres paradise
Don’t want to lose the luster on my skin
Let me be 17 again in paradise
Kiss some sweetness back again
Wipe away the tears of sin
Chorus:
There once was beauty
Our eyes had not learned how to cry
There once was beauty
Our bodies didn’t know how to die
There once was beauty
Flower trees ethereal glow
There once was beauty
Eve by my side, we must go home
Verse 3:
Some say its a legend or a dream
You can't change my mind I've seen it
Paradise
Where the garden I can't see
What makes the fiery sword give way
Paradise
Tell me why it’s gates cannot be found
But my heart’s still anchored to its sound
Paradise
Chorus:
There once was beauty
Our eyes had not learned how to cry
There once was beauty
Our bodies didn’t know how to die
There once was beauty
Flower trees ethereal glow
There once was beauty
Eve by my side, we must go home
Wanna feel the river on my feet
I'm dying till I feel the breeze in paradise
I don't believe its fully gone
Come with me we'll find it
Paradise

I wanna be innocent, I wanna be innocent, I wanna be innocent
