joey tempest is a great lyricist, i agree with all our analyist friends about the gist of the the song. it's about "sometimes what you want ain't what you need". i like the expression "prisoners in paradise", here joey says if we crave for more or sortta say be tempted by greed or something like it, not all of us get what we need and when frustration and desperation becomes too much it's too late to pray for normality like how it used to be for our male character here. "we're just children of tomorrow hanging on to yesterday" which i think basically means prisoners in paradise, frustrated to live in the present, wishing for the past, the joy and happiness we had and don't know what the future holds.
