Chico Mendes

Por onde é que anda quem antes cruzava
Na paz do meu mundo sem armas na mão
Por onde é que anda quem antes sonhava
Parar derrubadas chamando a razão?
Terá desistido da luz do seu sonho
Por ver na cidade seu ronco vazio?
Terá sucumbido na luta perdida
Deixando as coivaras, macaco e bugio?
Roncaram na trilha que o Chico morreu
Foi morte matada, pecado de gente
Maleva cobiça na mão dos ateus
E a força da bala plantou de silêncio
O caminho da vida, no rumo de Deus
A serra que serra, no alto da serra
É a mesma que mata por todo o país
Floresta arrasada e a vida findando
E os homens olhando morrer a raiz
O Chico rondava com sonhos de bicho
Parando as queimadas com voz de bugio
Será que por isso se ergueram os fortes
Com mão de poder, e o Chico sumiu?
Roncaram na trilha que o Chico morreu
