Credo
Elis Regina · Other Songs - Elis Regina
Acendendo a esperanca e apagando a escuridão
Vamos caminhando eplas ruas de nossa cidade
Viver derramando a juventude pelos coracões
Tenha fé no nosso povo que ele resiste
Tenha fé no nosso povo que ele insiste
E acorda novo, forte, cheio de paixão
Vamos caminhando de mãos dadas com a alma nova
Viver semeando a liberdade em cada coracão
Tenha fé me nosso povo que ele acorda
Tenha fé em nosso povo que ele assusta
Caminhando e vivendo com a alma aberta
Aquecidos pelo sol que vem depois do temporal
Vamos, companheiros, pelas ruas de nossa cidade
Cantar sememando um sonho que vai ter de ser real
Caminhemos pela noite com a esperanca
Caminhemos pela noite com a juventude
