    The song tells a story about a place called Paraiso, which is described as a dying land where no birds fly due to smoke in the air and a lack of grass. The singer lives in Paraiso in a cardboard house and wears rag clothes. They sing about wanting to see a single bird and create a song to be heard by the world in hopes that their tired and hungry land might receive some truth, hope, and respect. The chorus repeats the name Paraiso and asks it to help them make a stand and take them by the hand so the world can understand.
