Land of dreams, land of dreams
I will give you everything
So play your songs and make them real
And it's closer than it seems
And it's closer than it seems
I cannot wait to play for you
Land of dreams, land of dream
Come and find your land of dreams
I heard you calling from the start
Well you can hear the bells and strings
Come and find your land of dreams
Just wait until you make them ring
A thousand shades of something new
Come and find your land of dreams
There's a place for all we feel
Come and find your land of dreams
Come and find your land of dreams
And it's closer than it seems
Land of dreams, land of dreams
The shining waves and evergreens
Come and find your land of dreams
A river runs through both our hearts
Come and find your land of dreams
And it's closer than it seems
The world is smaller in our eyes
Come and find your land of dreams
The city streets and moonlit skies
And it's closer than it seems
This song has 7 stanzas with 4 lines of poetry

What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.


I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
The bright blessed day, The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands, saying: "How do you do?"
They're really saying:"I love you".


I hear babies cry, I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.


Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

One night
Watch the world unite
Two sides, one fight and a million eyes
Full heart's gonna work so hard
Shoot, fall, the stars
Fists raised up towards the sky
Tonight watch the world unite, world unite, world unite
For the fight, fight, fight, one night
Watch the world unite
Two sides, one fight and a million eyes

Hey, hey, hey, força, força come and sing with me
Hey, hey, hey, ole ole come shout it out with me
Hey, hey, hey, come on now
Hey, hey, hey, come on now

É meu, é seu, hoje é tudo nosso
Quando eu chamo o mundo inteiro pra jogar
É pra mostrar que eu posso
Torcer, chorar, sorrir, gritar
Não importa o resultado, vamos extravasar

Put your flags up in the sky
(Put them in the sky) (joga ela pro alto)
And wave them side to side (side to side) (lado a lado)
Show the world where you're from

Bad Day
(Daniel Powter)

Where is the moment we needed the most

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on


You stand in the line just to hit a new low

You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on


Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day


Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on


You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day


(Oh... Holiday...)


Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most

Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost


Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
