Radio Paradise (mobile)

Soldier of fortune
He's a man of war
Just can't remember
What he's fighting for
Start a revolution
Right before your eyes
When you hear the big bang
Don't you be surprised
Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Showdown at big sky
That day may be soon
And people, people
Can you hear the sound
From every village and every town
Let the bells ring out (ring those bells)
Hear the bells ring in
Let the bells ring out (everybody)
Keep them ringing, ringing
Can't predict the future
Can't forget the past
Feels like any moment
Could be the last
All you believers
Standing inside this room
Can't you see it coming
Shooting out across the moon
Save this place
- In the valley of tears
- By the river of time
From weapons race
- In the Book of David
- In the holy night
When it's laid to waste
- It will be written
- By the children of Eden
I said save this place
- And the Holy Ghost
Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Showdown at big sky
That day may be soon
And people, people
Can you hear the sound
From every village and every town
Let the bells ring out (ring those bells)
Hear the bells ring in (ring those bells)
Let the bells ring out (everybody)
Keep them ringing, ringing
Save this place
- In the valley of tears
- By the river of time
From the weapons race
- In the Book of David
- In the holy night
When it's laid to waste
- It will be written
- By the children of Eden
I said save this place
- And the Holy Ghost
- And the Holy Ghost
Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Kiss tomorrow goodbye
And that day could be soon
Give us the strength
Give us the wisdom
And give us tomorrow
Let the bells ring out (ring those bells)
Hear the bells ring in
Let the bells ring out (oh those people)
Keep them ringing, ringing (ring those bells)
Let the bells ring out (ring out)
Hear the bells ring in (ring in)
Let the bells ring out (oh those people)
Keep them ringing, ringing (ring those bells)
Let the bells ring out
Hear the bells ring in
Let the bells ring out
Keep them ringing, ringing

I know what you mean... we will probably all be back to do this again ... we will do many different things, too... seems inevitable in infinity, sooner or later... probably much, much later... seems like the Rapture begins for each of us the day we are born... I miss Cynaera so much... love this profound song... [ Reply ]
Pharming Mar 21, 2013 - 19:51	Whoa...I missed that song...I feel like I'm in high school! [ Reply ]
ziakut Feb 18, 2013 - 09:38	Good song. Bass part is worth at least half of the score alone. [ Reply ]

DD rabbi_phil Feb 23, 2011 - 18:54	If you like the (Da) Bodeans influence here then listen to their 1st: Love&Hope&Sex&Dreams. T-Bone Burnett produced that album and helped shape their sound. It's most excellent. [ Reply ]

Most Christians believe that this Earth is created by God, and we are mandated to take care of it (Gen 1:28). Unfortunately, humanity sucks at it! Yet, a major thrust of Scripture is environmental as it encourages the healing of our relationship with God, others, self, and all of creation. So, Christians ought to care deeply about "this place" as part of their worship/obedience/gratitude to God. BTW: Love this song, love this album! Agree wholeheartedly with your statement. Also, love this song and great segue from The Church's "Under the Milky Way"! [ Reply ]
Jimmy86 Aug 14, 2010 - 00:58	This would be perfect after having just played Jackson Browne's Late for the Sky & Wilco's Sky Blue Sky... Or perhaps Chris Whitley's Big Sky Country...? [ Reply ]
Bosami Jun 15, 2010 - 06:06	Simply. Awesome. [ Reply ]
iam_overlord May 14, 2010 - 11:52	Sounds like it would make a great soundtrack to a hybrid of Dukes of Hazzard and Miami Vice. [ Reply ]
