Dominic Balli - Favela lyrics

Why you crying favela Are you running away To stairways of sorrow And rooftops of pain Your broken down system Has you trapped and afraid I'm telling you hold your head up and sin Your monarchs and mansions On top of them hills Have got you believing You're living life still But dreaming's just dreaming 'til reality's real When ghettos be run like kingdoms in hills Be free be free now oh be free Be free be free now oh be free Be free be free now oh be free Be free favela oh be free Por que choras favela Porque falta o pano Se te faltou a agua Nao te falta o perdao Como a luz da crianca Tua esperanca chegou Vem brilhar sol da liberdade do amor Be free be free now oh be free Be free be free now oh be free Be free be free now oh be free Be free favela oh be free Procuro e nao te encontro You're living in the shadows Espero pela luz do sol But I can see the hope of a light coming Here in babylon They take our lives Here in babylon They rob our rights Here in babylon Where dreamers dream Sing favela sing Here in Babylon(aqui na babilonia) They take our lives(eu nao vivo mais) Here in babylon (aqui na babilonia) They rob our rights(eu nao vivo mais) Here in babylon (aqui na babilonia) Where dreamers dream(eu nao vivo mais) Sing favela sing Sing favela sing Be free be free now oh be free Be free be free now oh be free
