I had nothing and nothing had me Had me strung from a sycamore tree Now I have it all and it's all I see The good life isn't what I thought it'd be Owa owa owa ye Paradise goes way over our heads Owa owa owa ye Happiness isn't our concern down here And I can never wait Tomorrow comes too late So I want to keep this moment Locked out of time forever Because I see it slipping away I was sad and sad was free Free as the air over empty sea Now I'm confined A detainee Fate is an ambush you can't foresee Owa owa owa ye Seasons changing without a care Owa owa owa ye Oh precious dream, are you somewhere out there? And I don't want to go To the promised land anymore I'll stay inside this shelter We'll watch each other sleeping As the night turns into day And I can never wait Tomorrow comes too late So I want to keep this moment Locked out of time forever Because I see it slipping away
