All we have and all we want
Is never quite enough, it seems.
Our desires are never ending,
Reaching way beyond our dreams.

Paradise entices every one of us,
It promises so much beyond our need.
Happiness eludes most every one of those
Who live their lives as victims of greed.

"Just one more and I'll be happy.
One more purchase then I'm through."
But we all know it won't end there,
Soon we'll want for something new.

Paradise entices every one of us,
It promises so much beyond our need.
Happiness eludes most every one of those
Who live their lives as victims of greed.

Happiness cannot be found
Encased in shrinkwrap or on sale.
True contentment's found within you,
Can't be bought, that's bound to fail.

Paradise entices every one of us,
It promises so much beyond our need.
Happiness eludes most every one of those
Who live their lives as victims of greed.

Interlude

Paradise entices every one of us,
It promises so much beyond our need.
Happiness eludes most every one of those
Who live their lives as victims of greed.
