Rio Lyrics by Andre Matos

Time to Be Free

2007

[Verse 1]
Sometimes the Universe
Fits inside my world
There's nothing else to be
And no place to return
The power in my hands
Let law be made by force
At times my conscience speaks
But now it's more and more

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The day I'm waiting for

[Verse 2]
Is in the air I breath
Fine and stronger and pure
Out in the sea beneath
The mountains and the shore
Into this picture
A city made by God
Irrational progress
But now it's more and more

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Today the skies are blue
I hold the sun tight in my arms

[Chorus]
Rio, falling apart
Someday I will die for you
Never, never give it up
One day I will die for you
In your arms!
Yeah!

[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental Break]

[Inaudible Spoken Word]

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I see my universe
Grow larger than before
Maybe it's just because
Nobody cared to shut the door!

[Verse 3]
I'm locked inside your arms
The key is in my soul
There is no true escape
So here's where I belong
I look around and see
A city made by God
I used to be free
But now I am no more!

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Together we are strong
Let's make the future
Built on dreams!

[Chorus]
Rio, falling apart
Someday I will die for you
Never, never give it up
To play with desire
Is playing with fire
Right from the start!

[Outro]
Oh no, ye-eeah
Woah, no!
Yeah!

[Solo – Fading]
