From the recording Lone Star
Lyrics
It’s a perfect day in paradise
Golden light on the lake
I sail away to the far side
Golden people wake
Planes in flight on pelican wings
Rise above the wall
It’s the dream they promised me
When I sold my soul to the night
The far side of the wall
Fighting for life
Riots and refugees
Hand of God merciless
How can we leave them to die?
Uncared for, broken
Lost tribe, unspoken
Has no place in paradise
Has no place in our lives
How do we find
Our way back home to paradise
A long, wrong way to fall
Over the wall
It’s a perfect day in paradise
Golden light on the lake
I sail away to the far side
Golden angels wake
Life take flight on pelican wings
Rise above the wall
It’s the dream I found again
When I stole my soul from the night
