Michael Sembello: Is this the way to paradise [lyrics]

Michael Sembello

Is this the way to paradise

I feel I'm ready to go

I feel I'm ready to know

Like a magnet pulling me so strong

Hear the words in the wordless song

I don't know

One side fire, one side ice

On the borderlines of paradise

I know it's out there

I climb and I fall

And the voices of all who are there call

CHORUS

Take a turn to the left or to the right

Is this the way to paradise

Should I lock my heart up for the night

Is this the way to paradise

Poor souls caught frozen in the ice

Is this the way to paradise

Is this the way to paradise

In a temple in a distant land

There's a white light shining from a man

With the power to teach me how to fly

Show me all the reasons why

I don't know

On an island far beneath the sea

Some day the answer waits for me

I know it's out there

I know how I've tried

And the ghosts of the ones who have failed cry

CHORUS

Right from the start it was locked inside my heart

The secret is clear and the answer is near

We are born with the tears and we die with the fear

Just one more page in my story, your story, the story

Is this the way to paradise

Is this the way to paradise

Is this the way to paradise

Is this the way to paradise
