To spell out freedom

It must be uncool
for children to skip school
the right to learn has lapsed for some time now
for child and adolescent to have somehow
a decent education for a new way to be
to spell out freedom on the books of ABC.

On Brazil's every corner to set up a school
with a new way of teaching happiness for all
There are still so many without study as a right
that's what shows us this country's plight.

Joining forces, hand in hand,
in a headlong rush to learn
If apprenticeship goes beyond the ABC
every child as a citizen can be free.

Another way to use knowledge,
the Movement has shown the nation
taking up the challenge in the camps
Agrarian Reform, too, in Education.

This song is from the CD Art in movement
