The idea I’m singing about is that God can meet us ANYWHERE and take to a place in our hearts closer to Him. We don’t need the perfect sunny day, the best waves, and everything perfect to find REAL paradise. The best “soul vacation” around is right in front of us; the God of the Universe who wants to spend time with US, to hear our prayers and thoughts, to guide, love, and direct us, and maybe accompany us on a nice long walk…that’s what it’s all about!
