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!

Lyrics:

I
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye, cast a wishful eye.
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie, my possessions lie.

REFRAIN:
I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go, come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

II
O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day, one eternal day.
There, Christ, the Sun, forever reigns
And scatters night away, scatters night away.

REFRAIN:
I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go, come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

When I shall reach that happy place,
I'll be forever blest, be forever blest.
For I shall see my Father's face
And in His Kingdom rest, in His Kingdom rest.

REFRAIN:
I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go, come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

REFRAIN:
I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go, come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

Who will come and go, come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

Lyrics:

I
You have given me another moment
To be Your witness among men.
Though I do not feel that I am worthy
Still in me Lord, You believe

PRE-CHORUS:
Many times I don't know why
   You keep me singing for a while
But You know better than I.

CHORUS:
So I will serve You Lord
   for I have meditated on singing You these words.
And I will do my very best
   for everyone to be blessed.
I will give my all
   and let this opportunity be in Your control.
Lord, You have given me this chance to bring You glory,
Now for You alone will I sing.

II
I may never have another moment
To be Your servant for all men.
All I needed now is to be ready
And will follow when You lead.

PRE-CHORUS:
Many times I don't know why
   You keep me singing for a while
But You know better than I.

CHORUS:
So I will serve You Lord
   for I have meditated on singing You these words.
And I will do my very best
   for everyone to be blessed.
I will give my all
   and let this opportunity be in Your control.
Lord, You have given me this chance to bring You glory,
Now for You alone will I sing.

BRIDGE:
When I turn my back on You
Lord, You never let me go,
You reach out Your hand and pour within
Your music to my soul.

END CHORUS:
I will give my all
   and let this opportunity be in Your control.
Lord, You have given me this chance to bring You glory,
Now for You alone will I sing.

Lord, for You alone I will sing.

For You alone I will sing.
