Dizem [Quem Me Dera] [English translation]

The world's better than how it was

A hundred years ago, they say

Lesser people are losing their lives

And other people are living more

There are still many wars going on

But everyone wants peace, they say

We give many steps forward

And only some backwards

We have already come too far

But we can go even further, they say

We can discover new planets

For us to make our homes

I wish

I didn't feel afraid

I wish

I hadn't any worries

We are smart enough

To put an end to violence, they say

We cultivate beauty

Art and Philosophy

And Modernity will now

Last for an eternity, they say

All the technology

Used just to create fantasies

Gods and science

Will unite in consciousness, they say

We live in perfect harmony

It won't be an utopic dream

I wish

I didn't feel afraid

I wish

I hadn't any worries

I wish

I didn't feel afraid at all

The world's better than how it was

A hundred years ago, they say

Lesser people are losing their lives

And other people are living more

There are still many wars going on

But everyone wants peace, they say

We give many steps forward

And only some backwards

We have already come too far

But we can go even further, they say

We can discover new planets

For us to make our homes

I wish

I didn't feel afraid

I wish

I hadn't any worries

I wish

I didn't feel afraid

I wish

I hadn't any worries

I wish

I didn't feel afraid at all
