This track is Paulo Almeida's hope for the future of his home country, East Timor. East Timor was occupied by Indonesia for more than twenty years, and prior to that was a Portuguese colony. In the years since independence in 2002, East Timor has been troubled by conflict and poverty.
lyrics
Four-hundred years of foreign occupation
This is the time for the new generation
To take control of the current situation
To build upon a stronger foundation
Let's not forget
Forget about the past
Let's work together
Together for a new path
We've made mistakes
We've got to move on
This is the time
To start for fresh
Good times are coming
So people get on board now
It is a new day
A new celebration
Look to the future
And give ourselves a chance now
Good times are coming
Good times are coming
