A Just City is a Safe City by Picnic Kibun

Local chilean band Picnic Kibun composed a jingle for the World Social Forum specifically on housing and land right themes.

The song is based on an article written by Ana Sugranyes which crticizes the UN's slogan "a safe city is a just city" but turning it on its head: A Just City is a Safe City, emphasizing on the necessity of rights and the respect and these rights to have a safe city.

Lyrics:

It's about the right to the city,
it's so pretty, it's my city
It's about equality,
Dignity of human beings.
It's about responsibility,
accountability, solidarity.
It's about the right to land,
water and sand, it's my land

Let's say it together, repeat it again,
if we do it together it's not too hard.

It's our land and it belongs to us.
Take my hand, take my hand.
It's our land and it belongs to us.
Take a stand, take a stand.

A just city is a safe city,
and a just city is a warm one.
Unfortunately the reality urban socially a cold one.

Another world is possible.
