Little River Band Fall From Paradise
by Beeb Birtles and Graham Goble
Down by the Jordan, it's early in the morning
the sun is in the sky all the people pass by
there's magic in the air,
some stop to stare at a man who says he cares
People came from miles to hear what he had to say
some of them believe in him and some just walked away
He tried to explain, a fall from paradise was meant to be
disbelief showed in their eyes, drowning out his distant cries
"I'm telling the truth to you brother
telling it true to you sister
go tell the truth to the others
... all over the land"
Now we're here on the planet to live,
we're able to love and able to give
there's a lot going down, some win and some lose
still we're able to choose
But think of the times you cry in the night
kicked through the years
there is no choice we have to fight
Through it all the world goes on, it's another day
people rushing to a fro, counting hours as they go
I tried to explain our fall from paradise was meant to be
it's written down for all to hear, thers's not much time, the time is near
"I'm telling it true to you brother
telling it true to you sister
go tell the truth to the others
... all over the land"
Yeah, Yeah
