Jesus of Rio

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 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 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
