Quem é ateu e viu milagres como eu

Não cessam de brotar, nem cansam de esperar
They do not cease to sprout, nor do they tire of waiting
E o coração que é soberano e que é senhor

Não cabe na escravidão, não cabe no seu não

Não cabe em si de tanto sim

É pura dança e sexo e glória, e paira para além da história
