Poem about changing the world where we are. (by Amadeu Thiago de Mello, one of Brazils foremost poets who has worked for years to protect the Amazonian rainforest, the lungs of the world.) I live armed with love, to perform my work singing, to construct a new day. Love gives everything without holding back. Sharing hope, I plant the light of new life. Once they tried to silence the cry of my hearts fraternity in the peaks of the Andes ablaze with flames. But I rose above those flames and continue to sing. There are no new paths, only new ways of walking them. With the pain of the dispossessed, the dark dreams of the child who sleeps with hunger- I have learned: this Earth does not belong to me alone. And I have learned, in truth, that the most important thing is to work, while we still have life, to change what needs changing, each in our way, each where we are.
