Desafio
Danilo Moraes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

desafio
danilo moraes

longe o mar
por que passar as ondas
por que seguir adiante, se arriscar
lutar contra o gigante

sem pensar
enfrentar o desafio
se expor, correr perigo
o incerto tornar-se grande amigo

que motivo, então
tenho eu pra esperar, pra me guardar
não cumprir minha meta, sair da reta
me esconder e deixar de ver

sempre ter certeza
do que vai logo haver e não viver
olhar pra trás e não ter ido, não vivido
esperar e não me perdoar

mundo afora
o que foi construído
por mais que se penou
foi um sonho de alguém que realizou

cada um
tem sempre o seu motivo

de dar um grande passo
construir com o seu próprio braço
