Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A piece that we′ve been looking for
Unity for the rest of time
In our lives
We'll walk a thousand suns
Leaving our footprints in the sand
Follow the crystal seas
On our journey to paradise
You take me to paradise

Breathe, breathe all your air into my lungs
I′ve never felt this kind of rush
We're like a comet in the sky
We burn
We'll walk a thousand suns
Leaving our footprints in the sand
Follow the crystal seas
On our journey to paradise
You take me to paradise

You take me to paradise

The waves will crash, the sun will burn
As we sail off to paradise
And we will find our way... home
You take me to paradise
