Оригинален текст
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
