NOW I SEE

(Cecilia Stalin / Raoni Maciel)

A fever is rising

It never should have died

Born from destruction

You'll never see me cry

I was not ready to surrender

how can I break this now

Cos I know I am so much stronger then

what I'm feeling now

But you just feel the change of power now

as you turn around 

And I ask bring me into freedom now

with a gentle smile

Beauty around me

There is no time to waste

All the enlightenment

for me to entertain

CHORUS

Now I see
Everything so clear
Nothing but a dream

Blue and green
linguers forcefully
Joyfull within

Now I see
Everything so clear
Nothing but a dream

But you just feel the change of now
and I ask bring me into freedom now
