We can be, yes we can be, we can be children of paradise.

In the twinkling of an eye or the turning of a page,
Comes the moment when our time has arrived.
We can never be the same.
Chorus (repeat)
Bridge: Bm C G D
And all I know is we're still climbing up that hill
And [Bm]all we [C]need to sustain us is [G]love of love, the [D]light of life,
And the [Em]faith to know we can [A7]heal.... like [C]chil[D7]dren.

Through the violence and the rage, by the grace of love be still.
And the spirit that breaks free from the cage
Is the one they cannot kill.
