(Verse 1)
In the realm of progress, it's a grandiose tale,
Capitalism's wanderlust, it sets the sail.
Never content to stay confined at home,
Across the seas, its ambitions roam.
(Chorus)
Oh, this world of expansion, a relentless song,
Reaching beyond borders, it won't be long.
And in this journey, oh so vast,
The Third World's story, echoes from the past.
(Verse 2)
400 years of history, it's been a ride,
Empires carving fortunes far and wide.
Portuguese, Spanish, and all the rest,
Claiming treasures, on a global quest.
(Chorus)
Oh, this world of expansion, a relentless song,
Reaching beyond borders, it won't be long.
And in this journey, oh so vast,
The Third World's story, echoes from the past.
(Bridge)
It's not about poverty, a twisted game,
Countries rich, yet hearts in flame.
Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico too,
Abundant wealth, but dreams subdued.
(Verse 3)
Timber, cocoa, copper, and more,
Exploitation's tale, a bitter lore.
Centuries of plunder, a painful truth,
Silent cries echoing through youth.
(Chorus)
Oh, this world of expansion, a relentless song,
Reaching beyond borders, it won't be long.
And in this journey, oh so vast,
The Third World's story, echoes from the past.
(Outro)
Let's rewrite the chapters, break the chains,
Stand together, and break the reins.
For a world united, where hearts find peace,
Let love and justice, forever increase.
