I wrote this this song as a deliberate attempt to be joyful for life.

I play it on my own and have performed live many times with others, including a driving rock version. I wish I had a recording of that.

This studio version features lead guitars by Mike McCray and vocals by Alannah Jansen and Debra.

A friend recently said that the songs was stuck in her head.

One day I will create a video to go along with it.

Here are the lyrics:

Greg Dixon, revised May 15, 2009

[Guitar Intro with hand bells]

Eagles, soaring in the sky (this is Paradise, enjoy your life)

Trees, growing way up high (in the sky, way up high)

Ooo oo oo ooo oo oo Paradise, enjoy your life

Yaa ya ya yaa ya ya Paradise

Lions, roaming on the plains (this is Paradise, enjoy your life)

Flowers, blooming in the rain, (feel the rain, smell the rain)

[Guitar, like intro]

Children, dancing in the street (this is Paradise, enjoy your life)

People, loving each other sweet (feel the warmth, from the heart)

Ooo oo oo ooo oo oo Paradise, enjoy your life

Yaa ya ya yaa ya ya Paradise

Grass, blowing in the breeze (this is Paradise, enjoy your life)

Ships, sailing cross the sea (in the breeze, flowing free)

[Guitar, like intro]

Eagles, soaring in the sky (this is Paradise, enjoy your life)

Trees, growing way up high (in the sky, way up high)

Ooo oo oo ooo oo oo Paradise, enjoy your life

Yaa ya ya yaa ya ya Paradise

Lions, roaming on the plains (this is Paradise, enjoy your life)

Flowers, blooming in the rain, (feel the rain, smell the rain)

[Guitar to end]
