world
(REFRAIN I lyrics)
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 II (same as VERSE I)
I live in this land called paraiso
in a house made of cardboard floors and walls
I yearn to be free in paraiso
free to claim anything I see
matching rags for my clothes
plastic bags for the cold
REFRAIN II (same as REFRAIN I except for those which are indicated)
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
