Lately I asked
a handful of talented artists
if they could do a remix
of my album cover.
JR, a creator and a photographer
was the first to heed my call
he plasters his portraits on the walls,
of the city makes his sculpture.
His idea was sublime,
as he was in Rio at that time,
to enlist those kids he holds so dear
whom he would see once a year.
At La Casa Amarela
the cultural heart of a favela
which he founded 9 years ago
à Morro da Providência
Their first endeavour
Armed with paper and ruler
Was to fly high my paper cover
O my what a labour
But under this heavy sun
it wasn't meant to happen
the kite just wouldn't fly
high up in the sky
A little later, in the alley
I was delighted to see
Among the children, glued on the wall,
this image made immortal.
