João

So many, yet so few really understand
How to start a nation, man
It’s not just with monuments
Or with cannon fire, you see

It’s when a breeze hits your breath
And gets into the mind of a John
Who puts in all his effort
And love into his craft

To freshen up the corners of the song
And give meaning to our feelings

Thousands of particles in the air
Twist and turn in a vibration
To give us their blessing
To lift us off the ground

As if the earth’s rotation
Was this voice and this guitar

When just one person
Perfects in silence
The whole crowd hears the heart
And becomes civilization
