Lyrics:

Ooh...

IA
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 there.

PRE-CHORUS I:
And if I could see a single bird
What a joy!
I try to write some words and create
A simple song to be heard by the rest of the world.

II
I live in this land called PARAISO,
In a house made of cardboard floors and walls.
I learned to be free in PARAISO,
Free to claim anything I see,
Matching rags for my clothes,
Plastic bags for the cold.

PRE-CHORUS II:
And if empty cans were all I have
What a joy!
I never try to take someone else's coins
and live with fear like the rest of the boys.

CHORUS:
PARAISO, help me make a stand,
PARAISO, take me by the hand.
PARAISO, make the world understand
That 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.

IB
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 there.

PRE-CHORUS II:
And if empty cans were all I have
What a joy!
I never try to take someone else's coins
and live with fear like the rest of the boys.

CHORUS:
PARAISO, help me make a stand,
PARAISO, take me by the hand.
PARAISO, make the world understand
That 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.

Aah...

CHORUS:
PARAISO, help me make a stand,
PARAISO, take me by the hand.
PARAISO, make the world understand
That 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!
