Count Your Blessings!!!

Another touching song by Lea Slonga, Paraiso (Paradise) after listening and watching the MTV I really feel that I am blessed in many ways...

I am blessed to be able to live in such a comfortable and peaceful country,
I am blessed to be posted to KKB (most of my colleagues are kind and helpful to me),
I am blessed to have a roof on top of my head to keep me from rain and shine,
I am blessed to have a bed to sleep on and a blanket to keep me warm at night,
I am blessed to have enough water and electric supplies to use daily,
I am blessed to have enough money to buy food and clothing for myself, my mom and charity,
I am blessed to have my love ones and friends that cares for me....
I an blessed to be alive and have a healthy body.

Ok, I will try not to complain too much!!! I must learn to be CONTENTED with what I had and stop asking for more!!!!

Paraiso by; Lea Slonga

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 single 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

(Instrumental)

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...

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...
