00:00We turn to a land called Paraiso
00:18A place where a dying river ends
00:24No birds that fly over
00:28Paraiso
00:30No space allows them to endure
00:36The smoke that screams the air
00:39The grass that's never there
00:42And if I could see a single bird, what a joy
00:47I tried to write some words and create
00:50A simple song to be heard by the rest of the world
00:57I live in this land called Paraiso
01:05In a house, they have cardboard floors and walls
01:13In a house called Paraiso
01:15In a house called Paraiso
01:19To claim anything I see
01:23Matching racks for my clothes
01:27Plastic bags for the cold
01:29And if I need to cancel all I have, what a joy
01:35Another fight to take
01:37Someone else is constantly
01:39It will be like the rest of the boys
01:47Paraiso
01:49Paraiso
01:51Help me make a stand
01:53Paraiso
01:55Take me by the hand
01:57Take me by the hand
01:59Paraiso
02:01Make the world understand
02:05That if I could see
02:07That if I could see a single bird, what a joy
02:11This tired and hungry land could expect
02:13I could expect
02:23Some truth and hope and respect
02:24Some truth and hope and respect
02:28From the rest of the world
02:29Paraíso, take me by the hand
02:36Paraíso, make the world understand
02:43That if I could see a single bird, what a joy
02:47This high and hungry land could expect
02:50Some truth and hope and respect for all the rest
02:56That if I could see a single bird, what a joy
03:00This high and hungry land could expect
03:03Some truth and hope and respect for all the rest
03:09Of the world
