From Paradise - 2013 Remastered Version
She was born In the river land Born of her mother, into her mother's hands She was free, as the river was wild She was so innocent, Such a beautiful child
Then they took her away From Paradise Where everything was beautiful And very nice
They took her away Her mother's tongue Slapped her around a little bit To teach her another one
In and out of institutions What could they do with this child Where was the neat solution? There was nothing they could do So they gave her to the street And she joined all the rest of the hungry and the tired feet
And they took her away From Paradise Where everything was beautiful And very nice
They took her away Her mother's tongue Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Slapped her around a little bit To teach her another one
And the pondies they don't swim here any more And pondies the swim here any more
She met a boy Who kind of knew Some of the things that she was going through
But he was confused So he ran away She found him again And here she is today
And they took her away From Paradise Where everything is beautiful And very nice
They took her away Her mother's tongue Slapped her around a little bit To teach her another one
Took her away from paradise Away from paradise Away... Away... Away from Paradise...
