Prece
Eliano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

já passei por mil coisas nessa vida
Já chorei, já sorri, senti saudade
Já fui ruim, já pensei fazer maldade
Pelas dores das dores, já sentida.

Minha alma cantando dolorida
E o meu peito batendo só metade
Em meus versos gritando: igualdade

Pra uma sociedade adormecida.

Nunca fui um perfeito ser humano
Porém não dou ouvido ao desengano
Que me deixe testar minha fé.

Meus sinais de ser gente é minha prece

Quem apanha, rapaz, nunca se esquece
E eu vou sempre lembrar, porém de pé.
