Peace Train
Now, I've been
happy lately,
Thinkin' about the good things to come
And I believe it could be;
Something good has begun.
Thinkin' about the good things to come
And I believe it could be;
Something good has begun.
Oh, I've been
smilin' lately,
Dreamin' about the world as one
And I believe it could be;
Some day it's going to come
Dreamin' about the world as one
And I believe it could be;
Some day it's going to come
'Cause out on the
edge of darkness,
There rides a peace train.
Oh, peace train take this country.
Come take me home again.
There rides a peace train.
Oh, peace train take this country.
Come take me home again.
Now, I've been
smiling lately,
Thinkin' about the good things to come
And I believe it could be;
Something good has begun.

Go bring your good friends too
Because it's gettin' nearer;
It soon will be with you.

Thinkin' about the world as it is.
Why must we go on hating?
Why can't we live in bliss?
Thinkin' about the world as it is.

Depois de assistir ao show de Cat Stevens e
lembrar canções que nos marcaram em tantos momentos, ponho aqui um de seus hits,
que fala de um trem imaginário e que talvez esteja por aí em alguma via férrea.
Quem sabe se, mais do que valises e embrulhos esquecidos em plataformas de
embarque sejam passageiros que lá se deixaram,
depois de terem perdido o trem cotidiano da história.
No Expresso 222, de Gil, aprendemos que “O trilho é feito
um brilho que não tem fim” e que parte direto de muitas lembranças e de
não sei quantas estações.
O
depois espiritualizado Stevens sabe que paz é a ausência do jogo, do embate, da
oposição, do controle, da imposição e, principalmente, de todo e qualquer tipo
de ganância. Bem-vindos ao trem!
