PARADISE ISLAND

Words & Music by: Piet Louter



There're many grounds for thinking out, that we chanced to raise
In the right time in history, in just a perfect place
For turning out to be the rich and following our hearts
But now we have to make up with, we're turning out too far.

We are faced with the outcomes
Masses on the run
For the floods and the droughts and the violence.
Aren't they quite right to want safety in flight
And a better life on Paradise Island


We are slaves to our system, just based on our greed
Riding around getting stuff, that we don't really need
Been droven up to madness and pushed to put our backs
Into hard work and trading things to get that Cadillac

Now we are faced with the outcomes
Masses on the run
For the floods and the droughts and the violence.
Aren't they quite right to want safety in flight
And a better life on Paradise Island


We're running out of loose talks
We're running out of time
More and more we see them walk and pass our borderlines
And get us into trouble and make us face the facts,
That no longer we can't hold on keep ourselves back

'Cause we are faced with the outcomes
Masses on the run
For the floods and the droughts and the violence.
Aren't they quite right to want safety in flight
And a better life on Paradise Island
