Silk Nobre – Change [LETRA]
I often say, “One life is not enough
It’s what we have
I’m a different man, I had to change
Life made me change
People change when they have to
Change when they want to
Change when they are able to
And it’s a good change
Let me tell you something about this change
We need a second chance (change, please change)
We need a second chance (change, please change)
We need a second chance (are you blind? Don’t you see?)
Everybody has a dream
Everybody needs a chance
Everybody needs to play
Everybody needs to change
Do you know what I mean?
Everybody wants to feel that thrill
The shiver inside your body and soul
We need a second chance (change, please change)
We need a second chance (change, please change)
We need a second chance (are you blind? Don’t you see?)
How many years
Gambling right or wrong? (Gambling right or wrong)
Breaking down in tears
The pain made us strong (strong)
We felt that grace, we felt that power
All we need is a second chance
To change the way we love
Turn off you phone and listen to me
I need that (Higher)
I need that (Higher, oh, love)
Ladies and gentleman, put your hands in the air
Who needs a second chance?
We need respect, dignity and love
We need a place to eat, to be, to stay, a place to sleep
A place to rest, a place to work
A place to celebrate
A place where we feel safe
Once I was a refugee without a sense of place
A place called home
Home is where the heart is
We need peace in our countries
We need to stop the war
The planet is our home
And we need to take care of the planet
We need to stop the climate change
Active engagement (just get up and do something)
Improve the civic action (just get up and do something)
We need a second chance (change, please change)
We need a second chance
We need (a second chance)
We need (change, please change)
We need a second chance
You talk and talk and talk
And never stop
Just get up and do something
Just get up and do something (we need)
You talk and talk and talk
And never stop (we need)
Just get up and do something
Just get up and do something
We need
