Homem Do Meu Tempo

I'm living my life and life is living me, everything is living
Wrapping love in the most moving songs
From my car I can see

People in bars, on the phones, on cell phones
Smoke clouds
Children play in a square
And that messes with my emotions

Plane, subway, speed in this city that never sleeps
Move forward towards the future
So that everything can change

Images and words arrive via the internet
I'm more of a traveler, a dreamer
Facing a wonderful new world
A computer screen

I live life, moment by moment
Leaving my feelings in the songs I invent
To talk about love

I am a human being, a man of my time
The future is where I live, but deep down I love it
Talk to the flowers

I'm moving forward
A thousand headlights, hot machines screech tires
The more I see this progress in front of me, the more I have faith in God

Thousands of buildings, people, nuclear power plants, space probes
But it is the strength of a hug that renews
These emotions of mine

I stop at the traffic lights, I see people without shelter and without a destination
Where are the children of these old men and the parents of these boys?

These are things I ask and the answer is silence
That gives me great fear, sadness and pain
Will anyone ask in a few years?
What was love?

I live life, moment by moment
Leaving my feelings in the songs I invent
To talk about love
I am a human being, a man of my time
The future is where I live, but deep down I love it
Talk to the flowers

I'm taking life and life is taking me
