Silver over silver (Footprints on the sea)
[Verse 1]
I saw the moon dripping endlessly
Its cathedral light, and an old ship
Crossing the sea from South America to Europe
Over a mirror filled of salt
[Verse 2]
Aeroplanes cut the cellophane
Of a tropical sky
Opening trails to carry to the exile or back
Those who couldn't stand it anymore
[Chorus]
Footprints on the sea
Blood in our home
Why do we have to go so far away
In order to be here, in order to be here?
[Verse 3]
We stayed because of faith
We left because of love
We won something and something left
Some children are now parents
And some footprints are already skin
[Chorus]
Footprints on the sea
Blood in our home
Why do we have to go so far away
In order to be here, in order to be here?
