Children of Paradise

About Children of Paradise

"Children of Paradise" / "Gadda-Da-Vida" is a 1980 single by German band Boney M. Intended to be the first single from the group's fifth album Boonoonoonoos (originally scheduled for a November 1980 release), the single was ultimately never included because the album release was delayed for one year. "Children of Paradise" peaked at #11 in the German charts whereas it became the group's lowest placing in the UK at #66 only when released in February '81. Boney M. would use the double A-side format in this period, typically with the A1 being the song intended for radio and A2 being more squarely aimed at discos. The sides would usually be switched on the accompanying 12" single. more »

We are children of paradise
When the Lord created us
All his work was through

Then the children of paradise
Did the only thing they really shouldn't do

Children of paradise 
We started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care

We are children of paradise
We knew of no crime
Until one of the meanest lies
Has changed our time

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began with Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel
No trouble no grief

Children of paradise

We're the children of paradise
In search of the light

That was put in paradise
And started the night

It was long ago

We are children of paradise

We are the children of paradise 
Who didn't obey
When we followed the wrong advise
We wandered astray
We are the children of paradise
In search of the light

It was long ago
