It is very late
I think of all those seconds
Of life we lose
Destroying our beautiful world
Hatred has fun
Amidst all these bombs
Children sing while their mothers cry to God for forgiveness
And they sing...
How many bodies will it take to pile up to see that we are the same?
How is it that today people die just for being themselves?
Why do children cry of hunger while others play in the sea?
No, it's not the rain you hear, it's the tears of the earth.
Outside, outside it burns
They have set fire to our dreams
Outside, outside it burns
They have set fire to our dreams
How do you expect me to believe?
When hope has melted faster than the ice cap
No turning back
Our leaders have become fine bankers
Everything is controlled by magic paper
It pays for everything but it doesn't pay for life
The earth is unwell and so is man
The world is crazy, burning the Amazon
Walk, walk around me
Little one, don't cry if your tears fly away
Dream, dream of everything and nothing
And not just when your eyes fall asleep
Too many questions, few answers
No one asks what they are doing
To run barefoot without realizing
That the ground is filled with thousands of thorns
Outside, outside it burns
They have set fire to our dreams
Outside, outside it burns
They have set fire to our dreams
Outside, it's not a pretty sight
Hatred has fun and roams
Don't close the shutters when you see
So many emotions on the sidewalks
Outside, outside it burns
They have set fire to our dreams
Outside, outside it burns
They have set fire to our dreams
