Lyrics of 'Message From Earth' by Fabio Mendonça

A Poem has traveled from very far
On the wings of a beautiful song
The verses composed by nature
The rhymes meant for you, you alone

It traveled so long across the blue
It came ten decades back in time
It reaches you now on a bright starry night
As the Moon starts to rise in the sky

It comes with green grass in the mountains
It comes with the rain on the trees
The rivers, the lakes and the ocean
A bright sunny day by the sea

Waves gently shaping the shoreline
The palms that sway on a breeze
A colorful rainbow and a tall waterfall
A sight that you may never see

It traveled between constellations
It saw northern lights in the blue
Summer, fall, winter and springtime
The flowers that bloom just for you

It galloped so fast through the prairie
Ablaze cutting fast through the wind
Hovered above foggy plains in the mist
Gliding aloft on a stream

It ran across pastures and meadows
It's flown between plains and ravines
Reaching you at this very moment
The loveliest sight ever seen

I still remember the instant
When you let all that disappear
I am now coming back to see you my dear
In the hopes that now you may hear

Please let me spin clean and pretty
Out in the blue open space
Please let my fish keep swimming
In those crystal-clear waterways

Please let the flowers and forests
Sprout from the land to the sea
Don't let the whales and the Dolphins
Die for your vane politics

Please let me see all the children
Smiling and running bare feet
Picking up fruits from a pear tree
Quenching their thirst on a creek

Let me be able to see the stars
Without any smoke in my eyes
Let them inspire my singing to you
To reach very deep in your heart

This is what I came here to ask you
In this journey I took back in time
I came from a place that is lifeless
But that is your choice
It's not mine!
