Lyrics
One step that takes you closer to heaven
Taking a step that brings one closer to a heavenly state or experience.
One road that stretches out ahead
Traveling down a path that extends into the future.
One word that drives you to the point of decision
A single word that motivates a decisive moment or choice.
One wave that closes on a drowning man
A metaphorical wave representing challenges closing in on someone in distress.
One man who never knew the meaning of resistance
Describing a person who never understood the concept of resistance or opposition.
So now the turning tide will take another prayer to paradise
The changing tide requires another prayer for a journey to paradise.
Tonight, a mist is rolling with the river
Setting a scene of mist accompanying a river, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
Tonight, the rain is coming down
Description of rain falling during the night.
Tonight, you reach out to the point of decision
In this moment, reaching a critical point of decision.
One wave that closes on a drowning man
Reiteration of a wave closing in on someone in distress.
A man who never knew the meaning of resistance
Repeating the idea of a person unfamiliar with resistance.
And now the turning tide will take another prayer
Another prayer is needed due to the changing tide.
And where it falls, nobody knows
The destination or consequence of actions is unknown.
Oh, paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise
Repetition emphasizing the concept of paradise.
One step that takes you closer to heaven
Reiterating the idea of a step leading closer to heaven.
This wave that closes on a drowning man
A wave symbolizing challenges closing in on someone in distress.
A man who never knew the meaning of forever
Describing a person who never comprehended the idea of forever.
So now the turning tide will take another prayer
The changing tide requires another prayer for a journey to paradise.
And where it falls, nobody goes
The destination or consequence of actions is unknown.
To paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise, one prayer
Repetition and emphasis on the concept of paradise, with a reference to prayer.
To paradise, one prayer to paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise
Repetition and emphasis on the idea of a prayer leading to paradise.
