Come Back, My Paradise

By Jim Ittenbach 1999
From the forthcoming CD "Come Back, My Paradise"




Ever since the first light of my first day I've been blinded, I've been helpless
Ever since the first breath that filled my breast I've been searchin', I've been restless
Sea of faces that swarm around me, Conform me to mediocrity
Fears and passions and blatant greed, hide the evil in you and me.

Ever since the first time I knew my name I have wondered, just who I am
Every time I took a needless compromise I edged further, from my paradise
Rush of humanity that surges time, We're aware of our choice but still cross the line
Searchin' for answers that we'll never find, It's the nature of the beast that keeps us blind

Come back my paradise, Come back into my life
Come back my paradise, Come back into my life

Ever since the first time I shared my soul I felt happy, like I reached my goal
Ever since the first time I knew of love I felt connected, to heaven above
So desperate to make the connection once again, I hate to admit the places I've been
Whirlwind emotion cast out on the wind, there has to be a way That I can win.

Come back my paradise, Come back into my life
Come back my paradise, Come back into my life
