LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
They came to Rio, sun and rain,
the world arrived to talk again,
with rights and science, hand in hand,
and here Brazil, she took a stand.
[Pre-Chorus]
The funding's running dry,
and pharma's flying high,
they warned us: cuts bring death
we answer with one breath:
[Chorus]
So rethink, rebuild and rise,
raise the science to the skies,
no access, that's no justice
so open up your eyes.
[Verse 2]
They spoke of jabs beyond the pill,
long-acting shots to fit the bill,
so bNAbs — is it hope or hype?
The cure's still climbing up the pipe.
[Pre-Chorus]
The funding's running dry,
and pharma's flying high,
they warned us: cuts bring death
we answer with one breath:
[Chorus]
So rethink, rebuild and rise,
raise the science to the skies,
no access, that's no justice
so open up your eyes.
[Toast / Bridge]
Now — U equals U, so hear me shout:
undetectable, don't stress out!
PrEP inna motion, long-acting too,
communities leading - that's nothing new!
Criminalised, but still we rise,
harm reduction, open your eyes!
From testing to treatment we hold the line
rethink, rebuild, one more time!
[Verse 3]
We're ageing now, we're living long,
they wrote a session, wrote this song,
"live long, live strong," the doctors said,
now mind your liver, heart and head.
[Chorus]
So rethink, rebuild and rise,
raise the science to the skies,
no access, that's no justice
so open up your eyes.
