Smokey Mountain - Paraiso Lyrics
Return to a land called paraisoA place where a dying river endsNo birds dare fly over paraisoNo space allows them to endureThe smoke that screens the airThe grass that's never thereRefrain 1:And if I could see a single birdWhat a joy!I try to write some words and createA simple song to be heard by the rest of theworldII.I live in a land called paraisoIn a house made of cardboard floors and wallsI learned to be free in paraisoFree to claim anything I seeMatching rags for my clothesPlastic bags for the coldsRefrain 2:And if empty cans were all I haveWhat a joy!I never fight to take someone else's coinsand live with fear like the rest of the boysChorus:Paraiso, help me make a standParaiso, take me by the handParaiso, make the world understandThat if I could see a single birdWhat a joy!This tired and hungry land could expectSome truth and hope and respectFrom the rest of the worldRepeat Refrain 2Repeat Chorus
