[Intro. (Acoustic Guitars)]
|
|
You are standing on top of the world
|
With the rich on one side and the poor on the other
|
There's an ocean between them before your eyes
|
Is all of humanity ready to rise up
|
|
You are standing for love in the land
|
And all the people are searching for something
|
There's a notion that all can fulfill their dreams
|
Of living in freedom with all of their families
|
|
In your open arms giving grace
|
Holy palms wiping their faces of tears
|
To see your face and your open heart
|
Is comforting all of our fears
|
|
Jesus of Rio
|
|
And if everyone opened their eyes they'd see
|
That loving feeling is waiting within us
|
|
And if everyone opened their hearts they'd see
|
That every human is holy to someone
|
|
[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]
|
|
With your open arms giving grace
|
Holy palms wiping their faces of tears
|
To see your face and your open heart
|
Is comforting all of our fears
|
|
[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]
|
|
You are standing on top of the world
|
A sacred symbol of love everlasting
|
Devotion can lift us up to the skies
|
With all of humanity ready to rise up
|
