Composição: Arnaldo Baptista

Vamos para longe
Vamos pra onde eu vou
Será que é difícil esquecer os males?
Let's to the sunshine
Vamos pra onde eu vou
Será que é difícil esquecer os males?

Ontem me disseram que um dia eu vou morrer
Mas até lá eu não vou me esconder
Porque eu não estou nem aí pra morte
Não estou nem aí pra sorte
Eu quero mais é decolar toda manhã

Quero decolar toda manhã
Quero decolar toda manhã

Num mundo de cristal
Num sonho surreal

A vida, a morte, o amor
A vida, a paz, o amor...
