Sobe o Morro

Climbing the Hill
The kids ask for change at the light
To support a family that came out of nowhere
And the mom who works hard every day in the sun
Goes door to door just for a meal
A dad who climbs the hill looking for work every day
Searching for a light at the end of the tunnel, far from the hood.
If he didn’t do it, then tell me who would?
If you knew, you wouldn’t even be here.
(Where are you?)
You who said you knew the cure
(Where are you?)
You who walks around with the prescription in hand
And the politicians who used to knock on my door
Begging for a vote, where are they now?
Where are they now? Where are you?
But now that the family has given in,
The son’s sniffing glue, the daughter’s pregnant too.
But now that the family has given in,
The mom gets hit by the husband who’s drunk.
It’s time, come with me, let’s go!
He calls without delay, because the time has come
To take your love!
It’s time, come with me, let’s go!
He calls without delay, because the time has come
For us to climb the hill!
Lalaia! Lalaia! laia!
