I’ve seen all the world and been to the stars
The brightest lights and the darkest dark
I’ve won all the medals and played all the parts
But there’s still a hole inside of my heart
When I close my eyes
I’m one step closer to paradise
With my heart open wide
I can see the beauty beyond this skyline
Mysteries breaking through space and time
Questions keep taking me back inside
So I close my eyes, and I’m one step closer
To paradise

I’ve held all the virtues and committed the sins
Don’t care if I lose or care if I win
I just wanna know what’s beneath the silence
Cause there’s got to be more to life than this
When I close my eyes
I’m one step closer to paradise
With my heart open wide
I can see the beauty beyond this skyline
Mysteries breaking through space and time
Questions keep taking me back inside
So I close my eyes, and I’m one step closer
To paradise
