[Chorus: Olivia Holt]
Suddenly the world stands still
Everything's right
It's like the universe aligns
Pinch me, is this for real?
I gotta know
It's like we made our own paradise
Travelled like a million miles just to be here
It's like we finally made it
Suddenly the world stands still
And it feel, feels like paradise

[Verse 1: Brandon Beal]
Yeah, ha, let's take it back to 1995
I was just a youngin' tryna get my act right
Back then, who cared what we did in school?
All we ever really tried to do was act the fool, sorry Ma
I told you that I would get it together, you know
And thank you for helping me pay my rent in New York
And back then I promised you I would never be broke
We would never be broke, we would never be

[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Beal]
Suddenly the world stands still
Think it's just a record, this is just to keep it real
Spend my whole life tryna get it on my own
Back then, who woulda ever known? Now you know
[Chorus: Olivia Holt]
Suddenly the world stands still
Everything's right
It's like the universe aligns
Pinch me, is this for real?
I gotta know
It's like we made our own paradise
Travelled like a million miles just to get here
It's like we finally made it
Suddenly the world stands still
And it feels, feels like paradise
Feels like paradise

[Verse 2: Brandon Beal]
I was 20 years old, one way flight
I was concrete dreaming New York City lights
I was all about the green, all up on the scene
Didn't know 2 years later, I would meet my queen, sexy ma
But I was too young to get it together, you know
And just like a game of poker, I played with your heart
And back then, you promised me you'd be there from the start
You was there from the start and still here for me

[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Beal]
Suddenly the world stands still
And right in the centre of it, that's our Beni Beal
I just see 'em smiling at me, big brown eyes
My homies asked me, "How's that daddy life?" Paradise
[Chorus: Olivia Holt]
Suddenly the world stands still
Everything's right
It's like the universe aligns
Pinch me, is this for real?
I gotta know
It's like we made our own paradise
Travelled like a million miles just to be here
It's like we finally made it
Suddenly the world stands still
And it feels, feels like paradise
Feels like paradise, oh, oh

[Bridge: Olivia Holt & Brandon Beal]
So many times I cried me a river
Now every time I look in the mirror
I see somebody that fought for whatever is right
Oh, I been through the pain now, see so much clearer
Nothing can stop me, I will take on whatever
Oh, oh, ready, set go

[Chorus: Olivia Holt]
Suddenly the world stands still
Everything's right
It's like the universe aligns
Pinch me, is this for real?
I gotta know
It's like we made our own paradise
Travelled like a million miles just to be here
It's like we finally made it
Suddenly the world stands still
And it feels, feels like paradise
Feels like paradise, oh, oh
