Lyrics of
Another day in paradise

Another Day in Paradise was written by Phil Collins to shine a light on the issue of homelessness. Released in 1989, it became one of Collins biggest hits, reflecting his concern with social issues.


She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's an other day for
You and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, 'cause it's an other day for you,
You and me in pa ra

dise
just think
about it

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's an other day for
You and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, 'cause it's an other day for you,
You and me in pa ra

dise
just think
about it

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh-oh oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
But she didn't fit in there

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's an other day for
You and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, 'cause it's an other day for you,
You and me in pa ra

dise just think
about it
repeat and fade
