“I'VE SEEN”

I've seen a world that slowly dies,						(2 times)
I've seen people talking alone, 
I dreamed that from this world was born a flower, 
With the scent you feel on a sunny day ... 

I want to scream aslong I have voice, 
I want to scream to whom places us on the cross,
Because you have to open your eyes and sharpen the ear, 
You might lose the light if you do nothing, 

If you only think of yourself and then you leave, 
By selfishness earth is dying, 
If you think only of yourself, 
I can no more... 
War or peace depends on you... 

I've seen...									(1st part)  

Beware with political corruption, 						(last part)
What is most important for me is, if something happens to freedom, 
Old wars and killing does not have served, 
They are killing popular culture...
With my tambourine I'll play them an old rhythm...
And dance tarantella on their heads ...
