Em verde e branco reluziu
Um sonho de amor e liberdade
Da lama então, a flor se abriu
Cantei a paz a igualdade
Estrelas mudam de lugar
A minha popstar chegou rasgando o céu
Num big bang musical
Faço meu Carnaval, eu sou Padre Miguel
A vida é um show, Maraca é vibração
”É o samba/rock meu irmão”
Pandeiro, guitarra, swing perfeito
Não tem preconceito, a nossa união
Meu baticumbum é diferente
Não… Não existe mais quente
Música me leva…
O meu destino é a alegria desse mar
Vou pra Lisboa, eu vou na boa
E numa só voz ecoar
Muito mais que um som pra curtir
Conquistei a arena de Madrid
Meu Rio… Voltei morrendo de saudade
Na Apotesose é nova edição, overdose de emoção
Uma onda me embala, invade a alma
No peito explode a minha paixão
Um mundo melhor… Que felicidade
No Rock in Rio eu vou de Mocidade
