No arranque da Quaresma, ouço esta canção com outros ouvidos. E penso que, caramba, só Tu estás mesmo em todo o lado, só a Ti te podemos descobrir até na letra de uma canção pop dos anos 80, que já ouvimos milhares de vezes. Porque, agora que arranca a Quaresma, há uma batalha à nossa frente e, ainda que de muitas tenhamos saído derrotados, nunca veremos o final da estrada se caminhamos conTigo. Porque, ainda que os jornais nos contem sempre histórias de guerra e desperdício, não podemos pensar que tudo acabou quando o mundo nos invade e tenta construir um muro entre nós... Porque "eles" não vencerão. Porque, nestes 40 dias como em todos, Tu caminhas a um ritmo novo, a caminho dos nossos corações.
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead, barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Well, don't let them win
Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win
Don't let them win, yeah
