A peaceful sea
the sky stretching high
A lovely beach
not a soul nearby…
The trees are green
the waters cool
feathers of beauty
colorful blooms…
Earth is a Paradise
Your magical touch true
Yet God, my heart flutters
I wanna come home…

High rise buildings
cities on the seas
Cars a plenty
bridges of steel…
Bungee jumping
Hi-tech video games
fancy restaurants
every comfort man ever made…
Earth is a Paradise
Your magical touch true
Yet God, my heart flutters
I wanna come home…

A daughter I cherish
a Master I revere
a husband I love
Parents I adore…
Family too precious
friends to die for
colleagues shoulder to shoulder
sweat to work uphold!
Earth is a Paradise
Your magical touch true
Yet God, my heart flutters
I wanna come home…

My eyes are closed
my body relaxed
no thoughts I hold
Well! Just one foremost…
I have seen you God
Felt your presence
slipped into silence
beyond words or feelings…
Earth is a Paradise
Your magical touch true
Yet God, my heart flutters
Take me home once more!
