Paradise

I tuned in to the TV once again, today
 Watch the news to educate my mind
 The destruction and the chaos that confronted me
 It's our world caught in it's own demise
 (As I sat there I began to cry)
 The situation worsens every day that goes by
 (And I thought how can this be, Lord why?)
 So, heavy on me all those that are hurting inside
 If I had a dollar for every heart that's broken
 For every word of love unspoken
 For every childhood dream that's never realize
 If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing
 And all the ways we could be moving on
 Maybe, I could buy you paradise
 Just to see some hope in your eyes
 Sometimes, life, it seems a bit too much for me
 More things we must survive on top of all that we had before
 Broken hearts, broken homes, kids abused, left alone
 So many in the streets, homeless with no food to eat
 (I know God hears us crying out)
 Run to Him for all the answers, don't turn away
 (If we look to Him there is no doubt)
 He'll give us all the help we need, He knows the way, still if I
 If I had a dollar for every heart that's broken
 For every word of love unspoken
 For every childhood dream that's never realize
 If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing
 And all the ways we could be moving on
 Maybe, I could buy you paradise
 Just to see some hope in your eyes
 There are so many troubles, God knows what we need to do
 He has us in His hands, knows what we are going through
 Silver and gold have I none, what I have I give to you
 His word says we can make it and I know His word is true
 Here's to the hurting souls and for all the broken hearts
 All those who've been abused, who's life has been torn apart
 I don't have all the answers, what I have I gladly give
 It's in Him, there is life, if in Him we live and if I
 If I had a dollar for every heart that's broken
 For every word of love unspoken
 For every childhood dream that's never realize
 If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing
 And all the ways we could be moving on
 Maybe, I could buy you paradise
 Just to see some hope in your eyes
 For every heart that's broken
 For every word of love unspoken
 For every childhood dream that's never realize
 If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing
 And all the ways we could be moving on
 Maybe, I could buy you paradise
 Just to see some hope in your eyes
