Into Paradise
One Day
Inside my heart, I've got a dream
And I will find a way
To show the world who I can be
No matter how long it might take
I'll make my dream come true
Yeah, one day you're gonna see who I really am
One day, inside of me
And I know I can do anything I really want
Anything at all
And I know, one day, I'm gonna be a star
Inside my heart, I've got a dream
And I will find a way
To show the world who I can be
No matter how long it might take
I'll make my dreams come true
Yeah, one day you're gonna see who I really am
One day, inside of me
And I know I can do anything I really want
Anything at all
