AMERICA, AMERICA
-Lyrics-

Donde brilla el tibio sol
con un nuevo fulgor
dorando las arenas.
Donde el aire es limpio aún
bajo la suave luz
de las estrellas.
Donde el fuego se hace amor,
el río es hablador
y el monte es selva.
Hoy encontré un lugar para los dos
en esta nueva tierra.

América (América, América).
Es América (América, América).
Todo un inmenso jardín,
eso es América.
Cuando Dios hizo el Edén..
pensó en América.

Cada nuevo atardecer
el cielo empieza a arder
y escucha el viento
que me trae con su canción
una queja de amor
como un lamento.
El perfume de una flor,
el ritmo de un tambor
en las praderas.
Danzas de guerra y paz
de un pueblo que aún
no ha roto sus cadenas.

América (América, América).
Es América (América, América).
Todo un inmenso jardín,
eso es América.
Cuando Dios hizo el Edén
pensó en América.
América (América, América).
Es América (América, América).
Todo un inmenso jardín,
eso es América.
Cuando Dios hizo el Edén
pensó en América.
América...

Prize

"El premio entiende proceso urbano como la suma de acciones de naturalezas diversas: sociales, arquitectónicas, educativas, urbanísticas y otras; con un impacto global sobre el conjunto de la ciudad y que supongan un claro beneficio para la ciudadanía, una mejora de su calidad de vida y hayan contribuido a construir ciudad"

“Nos decían locos porque queríamos participar en política y hoy, esos locos, hemos demostrado que sí se puede trabajar por una sociedad justa sin corrupción y sin politiquería mirando a las personas a los ojos... En Medellín pasamos del miedo a la esperanza, es una ciudad que nos permite soñar"
