[Verse 1]
Return to a land called "Paraiso"
A place where a dying river ends
No birds dare fly over Paraiso
No space allows them to endure
The smoke that screens the air
The grass that's never there

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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 colds

[Verse 4]
And if empty cans were all I have, what a joy
I never fight 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

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
And if empty cans were all I have, what a joy
I never fight 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

[Post-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Paraiso, help me make a stand
Paraiso, take me by the hand
Paraiso, make the world understand

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
