Paraiso

Return to a land called paraiso
A place where a dying river ends
No birds there fly over paraiso
No space allows them to endure
The smoke that screens the air
The grass that's never their

And if I could see a single bird
What a joy I tried to write some words
And create a single word to be heard by the rest of the world

I lived in this land called paraiso
In a house made of cardboard floors and wall
I learned to be free in paraiso
Free to claim anything I see
Matching rags for my clothes
Plastic bags for the cold

And if empty cans were all I have
What a joy I never try to take some else's coins
And live with fear like the rest of the voice

Paraiso
Help me make a stand
Paraiso
Take me by the hand
Paraiso
Make the world understand

And if I could see a single bird
What I joy
This tired and hungry land
Could expect
Some truth and hope and respect from the rest of the world

Paraiso
Help me make a stand
Paraiso
Take me by the hand
Paraiso
Make the world understand

And if I could see a single bird
What a joy
This tired and hungry land
Could expect
Some truth and hope and respect from the rest

And if I could see a single bird
What a joy
This tired and hungry land
Could expect
Some truth and hope and respect from the rest of the world

Paraiso
Paraiso Paraiso Paraiso Paraiso Paraiso Paraiso Paraiso Paraiso Paraiso Paraiso
