He's climbing up the mountain
Up the steep hills yeah
In the soft snow
You can see a path
It's going up a long ways
Round the foothills yea
He enjoys the cool wind
Rushing across his face
Raising his arms he shouts
A cry of joy
When he needs rest
He just loves this place
And this is it for him
Living in paradise
And with a little rest
He'll open his eyes
Remember ow uh-huh
Surrender oh yea
Clearing up his mind forever
At the beginning
He don't want any help
Then came a cliff to cross
And desperation he felt
Then came along
A helping hand
Once across he sure felt
like a man
He's better my friend
No never never again
He won't be like this again
And this is it for him
Living in paradise
And with a little rest
He'll open his eyes
Remember ow uh-huh
Be a winner oh yea
No more the servant
He knows who is to blame
Now he has no shame
No shame
Situation's gone back
To normal the same
And maybe one day
He'll have to
Start all over again
And this is it for him
Living in paradise
And with a little rest
He'll open his eyes
He walks down
The other side
And faces the world
