it's time of the turning

OVO - Peter Gabriel 2000


In the big house
Where the sun lives
With the walls so white and blue
In the red soil
All the green grows
And the winds blow across your face, they blow across your heart

It’s time of the turning and there’s something stirring outside
It’s time of the turning and we’d better learn to say our goodbyes
All the earth breaks
Like a stale bread
And the seeds are folded in the soil
Oh, the sun pours
Then the rains fall
While the roots reach right out through the ground, they reach out through the ground

It’s time of the turning and there’s something stirring outside
It’s time of the turning and the old world’s falling
Nothing you can do can stop the next emerging
Time of the turning and we’d better learn to say our goodbyes
If we can stand up
When all else falls down
We will last through the winter
We will last through the storms
We will last through the north winds
That brings down the ice and snow
We will last through the long nights, till the green field’s growing again
Growing again

É a esperança e a certeza que tenho.

Quando "tudo" parece estar a cair, conseguiremos passar o inverno, as tempestades e os ventos frios do norte.

Mantenhamo-nos de pé e os prados verdes voltarão a aparecer.
