Um Rio de Felicidade

A River of Happiness
A river of happiness
To build a world that
Embraces a new culture of peace.
There’s a desert that surrounds me,
Sad faces and an endless loneliness,
It’s just disillusion.
I open my eyes and then I realize that
The answer humanity seeks to find
Is already among us.
A river of happiness
That has spread all the way here
Love that’s already flooding the city.
A river of happiness
To build a world that
Embraces a new culture of peace.
A new world that attracts unity.
Opens the doors for when the year 2000 arrives
And moves forward without stopping.
Living people who love even more
Open the time for a new civilization
Among the people.
A river of happiness…
It’s a current of unity
That changes this humanity,
By the presence of God among us,
Of God among us.
A river of happiness…
