PRA NÃO DIZER QUE NÃO FALEI DAS FLORES by Geraldo Vandré, new words by Joel Sattler
New title: "Guns and Flowers"
The original words are sometimes attributed to Anatole France [?]
We're marching and singing
And follow our song
And as equals we march
Arm and arm walk along
In the streets and the schoolyards
From buildings and fields
We're marching and singing
We the people won't yield
Come and join the chorus
We may rise or we may fall
But now the time's upon us
When it happens to us all
Come and join the chorus
We may rise or we may fall
But now the time's upon us
When it happens to us all
In the fields we are hungry
In plantations resigned
So we come to the city
Marching line after line
Still we are the result
Of what oppression has done
Though believe in the flowers
We'll face down the guns
Come and join the chorus
We may rise or we may fall
But now the time's upon us
When it happens to us all
Come and join the chorus
We may rise or we may fall
But now the time's upon us
When it happens to us all
Just remember the soldiers
are brothers and slaves
Don't forget they are lost ones
Pretending to brave
In the barracks they teach them
This the biggest of lies:
They must die for their country
And don't ever ask why
Come and join the chorus
We may rise or we may fall
But now the time's upon us
When it happens to us all
Come and join the chorus
We may rise or we may fall
But now the time's upon us
When it happens to us all
In the streets and the schoolyards
In fields, vacant lots
We are the people's army
Whether we're armed or not
We're marching and singing
