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...
