There's a thousand roads that get there
And each one looks the same
And with every step you're thinking
Should you have gone the other way

There are those who give direction
Even though they're lost themselves
And those who finally get there
Never leave no trace of a trail

So, if you're searching for some peace of mind
Out in a world that's cold and unkind
Hoping someone will throw you a sign
Paradise is a hard place
A hard place to find

There are wise old men who tell ya
That's it's up there in the sky
But I've flown those jumbos
And believe me it's a lie

There are those that think it's here and now
What you do with everyday
We better make the best of living
We're gonna die for sure some day
Searching for some peace of mind
Out in a world that is cold and unkind
Hoping someone will show us a sign
Paradise is a hard place
Paradise is a hard place
Paradise is a hard place
A hard place to find

I'm not trying to be no prophet
I'm not trying to change your mind
But I think that this searching is
Such a waste of time, such a waste of time

There are those that have religion
Teach them how to live each day
Yes, they believe in Paradise
All you have to do is pray

But me myself I'm easy
I don't really have to know
Just as long as I'm still breathing
And I've got somewhere to go

Searching for some peace of mind
Out in a world that is cold and unkind
Hoping someone will throw us a line
Paradise is a hard place
Paradise is a hard place
Paradise is a hard place
A hard place to find
