Every generation will always remember this music icon. This song from, Philip David Charles Collins, an English musician talented singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, was the last hit from the 80s and the first from the 90s, being number one in the charts between Dec 1989 and Jan 1990.
When I first heard about this very song, I thought of Paradise in the Bible, what a beautiful home to be forever! It’s so sad that no one is making music like this anymore.
“Another Day in Paradise” by Phil Collins is a song that makes you stop and think. It’s not just an amazing tune, it tells a story about something real and important.
This song talks about homelessness and how sometimes we walk past people in need, pretending not to see them.
Lyrics:
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 another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
‘Cause it’s another day for you
You and me in paradise
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 another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
It’s just another day for you
You and me in paradise
Just think about it
Oh, Lord
Is there nothing more anybody can do?
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
‘Cause she didn’t fit in there
Oh, think twice
‘Cause it’s another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
It’s just another day for you
You and me in paradise
Just think about it
Mm, think about it
It’s just another day
For you and me in paradise
It’s just another day
For you and me in paradise (Para—, paradise)
Paradise (It’s just another day for you and me)
Uh, just think about it (In paradise)
Paradise (It’s just another day for you and me)
Just think about it (In paradise, para—, paradise)
It’s just in paradise (It’s just another day for you and me)
Mm, paradise (In paradise)
Paradise, just another day (It’s just another day for you and me)
Think about it (In paradise, para—, paradise)
……THE END
