Praia Mãe

Grandma, grandma,
You thought I would grow old to see the day
When all the sands were clear.
Still, we have a lot to change, grandma,
We have to pick our toys out of the ground
And clear away the fear.
The tide will come and go away, Grandma.
We should put our hearts to sail, Grandma.
Sinhá, sinhá,
Your children used to play down by the sea,
In naked skins of gold.
Then, a gloomy cloud came down, Sinhá
And everything went dark and undermined
And unbearably cold.
The tide will come and go away, Sinhá.
We should put our hearts to sail, Sinhá.
Diâ ta sai,
Noti ta entra,
N ka ta tra es pensaméntu di kabésa.

Newtopia

Come along the wave to change the world,
We’re heading to another kind of dawn
And soon all of our troubles will be gone,
We’ll bathe in a new coming age of gold.
You could join our freak show as we go
Pole vault to the odd side of the wall,
Where love will be the mat to stand your fall,
Where love is like a snow ball that we throw.
Let’s rename the colours and behold
How beautiful each one is in their role,
How wonderful they look making a whole
And don’t mean anything that we were told.

Glow in the dark
03:51
|

|
Grow aware of every omen,
The fire can turn around any moment.
Mind your eyes point where you’re walking,
Even if you get lost gazing at the stars.
Wings in your head, feet deep in the sand,
A glow in the dark can lead to a dead end.
And, now, you wonder from what books they’ve read To turn them so empty, so fearful and sad.
Go guess, at some point, you might’ve been distracted,
You would never guess the way they reacted.
Wings in your head, feet deep in the sand,
You never know who’s around the bend.

Split the Crowd

Give them different clothes and different colour ribbons to wear
Tell them they should pick a side and choose a creed and make them swear
I see that some of you were caught in the middle
I see you have no place to fit but the middle
Make them aim their goals to what they can have, not what they can be
Time them so they race against themselves and set the winners free
I see that some of you were caught in the middle
I see you have no place to fit but the middle
I can see why you look so proud
You can only rule if you split the crowd
