Lyrics for Song: The Gates of Paradise 
Lyrics for Album: Feelings [1997]
  
               
  33137>I am nothing like my sister
  I am nothing like my mom
  You can't see me in my father
  Wonder where did I come from?
 
 
  And the laws of men are not the laws of heaven
  And angel's breath is like the desert wind
  And terrorists are acting out of love, sweet love
  To bring us home again
 
 
  It's a sin to seek perfection
  It's a sin to help the poor
  It's a sin to hold convictions
  For none of them are true
 
 
  And the laws of men are not the laws of heaven
  And angel's breath is like the desert wind
  And terrorists are acting out of love, sweet love
  To bring us home again
 
 
  Beware of good intentions
  And the passion in their eyes
  For none of them can open
  The gates of paradise
