THEME SONG PARADISE ROAD Come with me down Paradise Road This way please, I'll carry your load This you must believe Come with me to Paradise Skies Look outside, open your eyes This you must believe There are better days before us And a burning bridge behind us There's fire smoking, the sky is blazing There's a woman waiting, weeping And a young man nearly beaten All for love Paradise is almost closing down Come with me to Paradise Road It will change your life I believe It will sure change your life This you ought to believe Please take my hand down Paradise Lane Away from hard days without pain (Repeat) You must believe Paradise is almost closing Take my hand SOWETO GOSPEL CHOIR : “VOICE FROM HEAVEN”
