Before Dawn
"To the first light of day, a new era must come.
Let it become light or clear, dark or bright with ups and downs; there is still time to love and forgive, laugh, and cry.
Faith is the bird that feels the light when the Dawn is still dark. With the ramps of life, Even so, will you run away with us?"
- Davi Rodrigues
