PARAISO (Lyrics)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

napoly,
i remember this wonderful and warmest song when i was in the 4 walls of seminary,,it was happened during our family day,this song was selected by our very own dean of studies,i dont knw wat is the porpose of using this song during our family day,,but 1 thing that im sure,we protect our mother earth....
makes me cry when i hear it...
No birds "dare" (not there) fly over Paraiso
And if empty cans were all I "had," what a joy
"I'd" never fight to take someone else's coins
This song is beautiful, and Lea Salonga makes it even more so.

pati ba naman dito sa simpleng bagay.. nagkaka-away2 ang mga tao..
well, to the person who did not appreciate this song..just mind your own property alright??
instead of making some fight that has no point...!!
makunsensya ka nalang sa sinabi mo!! and just realized your mistakes...
and watch also to your words before you say it..
