Show Me The World - Ciao Kids Anthem
When they arrived in the forest
Like soldiers they were dressed
Turned our home into paper and oil
Settled down on our soil
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
I don't belong under these roof tiles
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
Step aside
Step aside, leave my tribe alone
You can't force me to live where everything I know is gone
We follow the rhythm of the seasons to make a living
The trees were my home now they're gone and I'm grieving
How come your small pieces of paper
Give you the power to take the land of my elders?
I got nothing to trade because nothing belongs to me
But they still took my world away from me
They took my world away from me
They chased our families
They said nobody can touch me
Since I am Adivasi
But my smile will always be
As long as I am free
As long as you teach me
Can you show me the world?
Show me the world
Show me the world
Can you show me the world?
Show me the world
Hungry to live, thirsty to learn
Now I know I have my life to earn
As a weapon we'll use education
Our children will be our salvation
Somewhere to go, something to say
We'll keep on dancing every day
Somewhere to go, something to say
Follow our way
Follow our way, break the rules
There's only one step between the field and the school
We want to use our time to make the difference
There's many things to do, we will keep the distance
A wise man called it a passeport to the future
For tomorrow belongs to those who get prepared
Today we finally found the cure
Education will be our savior
They took my world away from me
They chased our families
They said nobody can touch me
Since I am Adivasi
But my smile will always be
As long as I am free
As long as you teach me
Can you show me the world?
Show me the world
Show me the world,
Can you show me the world?
Show me the world
Dancing to the rhythm of our hearts
No savage beast will tear us apart
We're not alone to claim our rights
Together we'll win the fight
They took my world away from me
They chased our families
They said nobody can touch me
Since I am Adivasi
But my smile will always be
As long as I am free
As long as you teach me
Can you show me the world?
They took my world away from me
They chased our families
They said nobody can touch me
Since I am Adivasi
But my smile will always be
As long as I am free
As long as you teach me
Can you show me the world?
Show me the world
Show me the world,
Can you show me the world?
Show me the world
Like soldiers they were dressed
Turned our home into paper and oil
Settled down on our soil
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
I don't belong under these roof tiles
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
Step aside
Step aside, leave my tribe alone
You can't force me to live where everything I know is gone
We follow the rhythm of the seasons to make a living
The trees were my home now they're gone and I'm grieving
How come your small pieces of paper
Give you the power to take the land of my elders?

But they still took my world away from me
They took my world away from me
They chased our families
They said nobody can touch me
Since I am Adivasi
But my smile will always be
As long as I am free
As long as you teach me
Can you show me the world?
Show me the world
Show me the world
Can you show me the world?
Show me the world
Hungry to live, thirsty to learn
Now I know I have my life to earn
As a weapon we'll use education

Since I am Adivasi
But my smile will always be
As long as I am free
As long as you teach me
Can you show me the world?
Show me the world
Show me the world,
Can you show me the world?
Show me the world
