Reforest (feat. Gilsons and Bem Gil)
Keeping standing what remains is not enough
Someone will come to knock down what remains
The way is to convince those who devastate
To respect the forest
Keeping standing what remains is not enough
As the voracious chainsaw has a party
The way is to understand that it's enough
And replant the forest
Millions of species, plants, and animals
Buzzing, roaring, barking, and more
Howls, whispers, ancestral laments
Why don't we leave our world in peace?
Beyond the hill, the desert spreads
Throughout the land, from the mountains to the ends
A hollow stump, a Canastra shell
Where we bury marmosets
Keeping standing what remains is not enough
Almost all the green gold is gone
Now it's time to reforest
So the heart doesn't destroy
Respecting the forest
That the heart doesn't destroy
Replanting the forest
That the heart doesn't destroy
Keeping standing what remains is not enough
Someone will come to knock down what remains
The way is to convince those who devastate
To respect the forest
Keeping standing what remains is not enough
Almost all the green gold is gone
Now it's time to reforest
So the heart doesn't destroy
