Hoping to reach their destiny. 

Buzzards along the way 
Look for pigeons

Sobre prados...

when they will rise
from landscape grounds

Do you see our weaknesses?
I am you 
I am me in another day
do not talk with me about hunger
do not cross the line
because between our lips is our bodies
that burned in the streets....
