Give Me Paradise

Take my life,

Take my everything.

Strip me of my rights.

But give me one thing.

 

Give me a paradise!

 

A paradise of brotherhood,

and sisterhood.

 

A paradise where violence does not exist,

a paradise where nobody commits a crime,

a paradise where people are not afraid to openly confess their sins.

 

Give me a hope.

A hope that at the end of all these troubles,

there will be peace, love, and humbleness.

Where Greed is no more.

Where men do not need guns.

 

Give me a city.

 

Give me a city,

where doors and locks are no more.

Open seats at dinner tables for brothers to join.

 

A quiet city,

where children run in happiness,

where a new generation lives happily,

where the old generation smiles.

 

A beautiful city,

where evil is no more,

 

Give Me Paradise.

Land of abundance.

Land of peace.

Land of brotherly and sisterly love.

 

Give me a land,

a land where people different by culture,

different by background,

different by skin,

different by family,

can unite as one.

 

Give me a land where there is no sin.

Give Me Paradise!
