Vila Beto Ve Lyrics

Vila Beto Ve lyrics

I was awakened by a memory

A trace of other years

A figure calling
to my life of ease

The face of poverty

Ten thousand miles stand in
a way

But it draws me to this day



Chorus

I hear their
voices deep inside of me

Vila Beto Ve

I tried to carve a new
identity

But I could never forget

It's got a way of staying in your
blood

As though you never left

Don't forget us when you go away

Vila Beto Ve, Vila Beto Ve



I find myself complaining now and
then

About such little things

Always looking for a better hand

Than what's been given me

But there are those who have much less than
me

Yet they face the world with dignity

Thanking God with joyfull
eyes

Celebrating every moment of life



Repeat Chorus



It is said the last shall be first

What we think is blessing
can be a curse

It is said the door is a needle's eye

And the pure
in heart will see God



I hear their voices deep inside of me

Vila Beto Ve

It's not a matter of my charity

I can't afford to
forget, can't afford to forget

It's got a way of staying in my blood

As though I never left

I won't forget You when I go away

Vila
Beto Ve, Vila Beto Ve



Repeat Chorus
