Some things can't be explained like you'd like 'em to be
I find it's easier to curse than pray
But I feel I can't escape what you've done for me
I don't understand why

You traded paradise for poverty
Created all and laid it all on the line for me
I'm just an ordinary heart and soul
You bridged an ocean to stand in my place

So, how do I find this kind of love inside?
Why do I want it to belong to me?
When I've heard the words I love you so many times
It's hard to believe

You traded paradise for poverty
Created all and laid it all on the line for me
I'm just and ordinary heart and soul
You bridged and ocean to stand in my place
I needed someone to stand
In my lonely place
A familiar face
A warm embrace
A saving grace
You demonstrated how true love should be
By loving me
Unselfishly, yeah!

Stand in my place!

You traded paradise for poverty
Created all and laid it all on the line for me
I'm just and ordinary heart and soul
You bridged and ocean to stand in my place
You traded paradise for poverty
Created all and laid it all on the line for me
I'm just and ordinary heart and soul
You bridged and ocean to stand in my place
You traded paradise for poverty
Created all and laid it all on the line for me
I'm just and ordinary heart and soul
You bridged and ocean to stand in my place
You traded paradise for poverty
Created all and laid it all on the line for me
I'm just and ordinary heart and soul
You bridged and ocean to stand in my place
