Um Mundo Melhor

Once there was a fire in the forest
And the animals were fleeing nonstop;
And the lion, in the confusion, furrowed his brow
When he saw the hummingbird staying there,
Going to the river and picking up with its beak
A little water to throw
On the fire, much bigger than a bird
And the lion became interested to ask:

"Why are you doing this,
If this fire is too big for you?"
"I do this because this is my part,
I'm sorry that you don't want to do it."

This example of responsibility
Each of us should have:
Just drops of goodwill
So that we can then do...

A better world
For the future not to be just utopia
For hope to come true every day
So that our parents
Don't have more worries,
For all tribes, races, and nations

More for the majority, less for the minority,
The best way to make democracy.
So that everyone can have their freedom,
Freedom but without irresponsibility.

Where we no longer need to ask for help;
Where everything changes for the better all the time;

For us to only live love and no longer make war;
For living beings, inhabitants of planet Earth

For those who work for a new world
Where there is no fear even for a second;
Where no one kills to end hunger
For good men, and for the good of men.

For the conscience of those who have everything in this life,
For those who have nothing, not even a plate of food:

A better world
