Jesus Of Rio Lyrics - Crosby & Nash

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 

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
