Girassol

by: Cidade Negra

A favor da comunidade, de que espera o bloco passar
Ninguém fica na solidão
Embarca com suas dores pra longe do seu lugar
A favor da comunidade, que espera o bloco passar
Ninguém fica na solidão, o bloco vai te levar
Ninguém fica na solidão
A verdade prova que o tempo é o senhor
Dos dois destinos, dos dois destinos
Já que pra ser homem tem que ter
A grandeza de um menino, de um menino
No coração de quem faz a guerra
Nascerá uma flor amarela
Como um girassol
Como um girassol
Como um girassol amarelo, amarelo Todo
dia, toda hora, na batida da evolução
A harmonia do passista vai encantar a avenida
E todo o povo vai sorrir, sorrir, sorrir
E todo povo vai sorrir
