In the Shape of Your Dream (Geraci, Priolo, Di Chiara)
Tutto comincia da qui:
da un sogno e da un “sì”,
che viaggia nel tempo per
le strade delle nostre città,
e corre ispirando la gioia e l’amore, dono di Dio.
È una chiamata che sa di eternità:
“Con la mitezza del cuore
giovani amici tu avrai.
Renditi umile e forte:
a suo tempo comprenderai”.
RIT. Walking all over the world
today we still sing that dream.
Sons of a Great History
we make your desire come true.
Like you Don Bosco we live
God’s plan for us with faith
all together now!
For a wonderful life
in the shape of your dream!
Uh uh uh uh uh
El tiempo ha pasado y todo ya es realidad.
Quien sabe si en ese llanto
viste las sonrisas de hoy...
Tú enseñas a entender el plan que nos
ha confiado Dios, como lo hiciste tú
REF. Walking all over the world
today we still sing that dream.
Sons of a Great History

Like you Don Bosco we live

For a wonderful life

A mind to understand, eyes to love,
a heart to believe: these are your gifts.
Now we use them
to turn those wolves into lambs again
REF. Walking all over the world
today we still sing that dream.
Sons of a Great History
we make your desire come true.
Like you Don Bosco we live

all together now!

in the shape of your dream!
