Virou Areia

(album: Aquarela Do Brasil - 1995)

Oh where are the pyramids
That stood in Egypt land?
Virou areia, virou areia

And where are the trees The grass
And all the earth has grown?
Virou areia, virou areia

Oh where are all hopes
And dreams of all mankind
Virou areia, virou areia

What happened to the dreams
Of castles, queens and kings
Virou areia, virou areia

The hand of God has written
That all men are free
Virou areia, virou areia

And where is the savior for us all
Virou areia

Areia the moon wants to hide
All the sorrow we've caused the earth
Areia we've gone through
The layers Of air and sky
Areia the land is so tired
That it won't give birth
Areia the trees and the grass will all die

We have got to change this old m.o.
Virou areia
If not it's back to sand we all will go
Virou areia

Cadé a voz que encantava a multidão
Virou areia, virou areia
Cadé o passado o presente e a paixão
Virou areia, virou areia
Cadé a muralha do imperador, virou areia

The moon wants to hide all the sorrow
We've caused the earth
Barro batido subindo no ar
The land is so tired it won't give birth
Fazendo com a mão um castelo no mar
Onda que se ergueu e que passou
Virou areia
If not it's back to sand we all will go
Virou areia

Tell me where are all the people
Who thought as one
Virou areia, virou areia

It's our responsibility
To get things done
