Lyrics
[verse]
She was just a girl who dreamed of skies of gold
Painted pictures on the walls of stories yet untold
Every night she'd close her eyes and drift so far away
To a place where all the colors never turned to gray
[chorus]
She dreamed of paradise, paradise, paradise
Every time the real world felt like paying too high a price
She dreamed of paradise, paradise, paradise
Under skies she built herself, she found her paradise
[verse]
Years went by and still she carried that same spark inside
Through every disappointment, through every fallen tide
The world kept turning colder but she kept her vision bright
Holding to a paradise that lived beyond the night
[chorus]
She dreamed of paradise, paradise, paradise
Every time the real world felt like paying too high a price
She dreamed of paradise, paradise, paradise
Under skies she built herself, she found her paradise
[bridge]
Strings are rising higher like a wave against the shore
Every dream she's holding onto opens up a door
Maybe paradise was never somewhere far away
Maybe it was building in her heart the whole way
[chorus]
She dreamed of paradise, paradise, paradise
Every time the real world felt like paying too high a price
She dreamed of paradise, paradise, paradise
Under skies she built herself, she found her paradise
