Raiz
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Os mestiços, os mulatos, brasilíndios sararás
Pardos, morenos, crioulos; como qualquer africano
Somos todos um só povo, frutos da mesma raiz
E se moram nas favelas, ou se vivem beira mar
Se estão encarcerados, ou no abrigo das pontes
Somos todos um só povo, frutos da mesma raiz
Os que guardam suas crenças, os que rezam na matriz
Os que rezam nos terreiros, os que cantam aleluias
Somos todos um só povo, frutos da mesma raiz
Os que danças nas congadas, nos reizados, nos salões
Os que jogam capoeira, os que sambam na avenida
Somos todos um só povo frutos da mesma raiz
