Deus, alforria o meu sertão
Para eu plantar uma flor
Perfumar o coração
Colher a esperança com cor
Alforria, Pai, esse negro
Para ele semear o amor
Não ter que sonhar com medo
E nascerem as crianças no Pelô
Deus, alforria o meu Brasil
Para a gente educar os filhos
Numa nação mais gentil
E cantar na liberdade com brilho
Senhor, alforria essa senzala de pavio
Vai explodir na minha vida
E toda mágoa estancará no rio
Onde o mar seja a saída
Deus, alforria esse gueto
Para ir e vir quem quiser
Branco ou preto
Soberanos na fé
Pai, alforria o nosso amor
Ele ta preso a quem negou a paz
Fazendo guerra demais
Causando tanta dor
Alforria, Deus, essa fome
No nome de quem come
Ou na fome de quem morre e some
Senhor, alforria essa miséria
Faz desabrochar no chão da terra
Prosperidade pra mim e pra Nigéria...
Eu vou regar como se fosse sorte que encerra
