Mount Christ
On the highest peak of Rio de Janeiro
Stands the largest statue of Jesus Christ
Closest to heaven
And fast watched on earth
His arms stretch 26 meters
One of the seven new wonders indeed
The world is just for his hug
While people are madly taking drug
The train climbs along the green line with heavy breath
The primitive forest moans with red flowers
The pumas and jaguars are only made of concrete
Even the colorful parrots are artificially dead
Man is said to rule the world lead by Love
Who was born deadly blind and deaf
That shoots the arrows up and down
So scarlet traps here and there underground
Lured and caught people old and young
Beneath His huge feet the sea small and beach pale
People are still chasing the whale
Nature nurtures and also kills
Satan loves nothing more than free wills
He stands high and watches us clear night and day
Hoping sins can be washed away by blue waves
Yet they grow fast in our hearts and bound with souls
And we have to travail, rest and pray
With a long sigh I won't ask why
Mine is to come, to do and to die
They say God made man
And now I see man made son of God |
