Tenha certeza

Antes de se levantar, tenha certeza de que acordou
Porque cada passo que se inicia
Leva o tempo que o outro que não se contou
E na dicotomia de um dia
Se vive a simplicidade de uma vida
Antes de chorar, tenha certeza de que sorriu
Porque cada lágrima que se vai
Não volta num mesmo rio
E na alegria que se tem em estar
Cresce a vontade de continuar
Antes de se deixar levar, tenha certeza de ter amado
Porque é em se perder que se ganha
E só que já se deu pode ser levado
E nos dias que já não serão seus
Habita toda felicidade
Antes que seja tarde, tenha todas as certezas
Porque nos dias que passam
Só se vive pela beleza
Da vontade e das verdades
Que em cada um se fazem...

Waking up

She thinks there’s a lesson to be learned
In every single step she takes
And as she overthinks her intentions
She overlooks her own sensations
Tough as it may be for this girl
To let her hair down for a while
And look around where she goes
She may come out with a smile
If dreams didn’t make it further
Waking up should be no burden
But a whole new page to write
A brand new way to start
Be not a simple minded fool, little lady
The future will take all the chances
And the story you’re yet to find
Beyond the rising sun lies

A new quest

The search for greatness and hope
Begins with all but a single step
Meanwhile the heart can only cope
As it takes the next step

A venture is sure to have begun
When you hear the wind against the sail
For with each wave that will be gone
A whole new story entails

What would come out of such labor
Unseen remains until it's here
Having hope for the best sailor
Or failure as the worst fear

Yet it is specially for not knowing
That this undertaking begins
And the view along the journey
The very reason reveals

Bon Voyage

We haven't learned to say good bye
And maybe we never will indeed
But as we part this time around
I wish you all I wished you here
I wish you have time to spare
I hope you find the will within
I pray you have to hold your breath
I dream you'll find your win
So while you're there, please do your share
And keep an open mind
Take it all in with every step
And never wish it to end
And allow yourself to be in awe
And let the world surprise you more
As you enjoy your every day
I only hope you're not away
At all

Procura

Procuro um lugar onde mora
Guardada pela verdade
A saudade de quem foi embora
E vive sua liberdade
E nessa rua que reside
A luz de quem nunca desiste
Mas segue pelo querer
De tudo que pode ser
É quando chego ao destino
Que vejo que não me engano
São meus todos esses sonhos
É comigo que me encontro

To forget

All the wrong that has been done
By whomever or to anyone
Has filled a soul with restless tears
And led to nothing at all but fear
And in the failing of a soul
A place no one would dare go
Alledgedly should be great pain
Instead of all but a little stain
No scars of a most dreaded past
But hope and love willing to last
And in the questioning of its strength
A little voice cries out its claim
There's no living without a breath
And you must forgive to - then - forget

Big picture

A closer look can be a blinding light
Into a soul or any wandering mind
Details that never seem to fail
To surprise or even entice

And with a step back - or two
The way it's seen can be renewed
And flawless memories revive
While failed dreams are demised

Meanwhile the view of any perfection
Is kept by one too many laws of attraction
The closer you get, the further you're at
Determine the beauty you see reflect

All eyes behold beauty from afar
And you remember if you no longer are
Distance is time's favorite test
The part you see is the whole you get

Needs

Just as a flower needs the ground
Just as the fish need the sea
And as a child needs a mother
As a person needs to feel
And like we all need to learn
Like we all need to yearn
Like words need to speak
And every life need to breath
I need for you to stand
For what truly matters in the end
To speak your mind no matter what
And be the man I hope you are

Free

Ask me not the reasons why
Whatever happens at any time
Spare me the need to explain
Why somethings grow while others restrain

And wonder not about the ones
That handle both restraint and surge
As any tree that grows that high
Will have to lodge down rather tight

Yet should it ever cross your mind
To stop the wondering, go on and try
Make it so that you become
The words you long from anyone

No freedom abides in solitude
And treasure the words I sing to you
All the while you spread and thrive
Your roots are keeping you sound and alive

Não quero falar de amor

Hoje eu não quero falar de amor
Quero que as rimas sejam soltas
E livres do que eu possa impor
Que sejam leves, ainda que poucas
Como as bolhas de sabão
Que sejam volúveis bailarinas
E sempre cumpram sua sina
De se deixar levar no vão
De histórias e contos novos
De ventos que nunca voltam
De vidas que sempre inovam
E por fim, que essas rimas
Sejam cheias de beleza
De sorriso que ensina
De tudo que se deseja
E, quem sabe, mesmo sem querer
Não tenha todas elas juntas
Cantado do que so pode ser
Amor em outras juras
