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!
