Miscellaneous
A Luz Que Acende O Olhar
a luz que acende o olhar
vem das estrelas no meu coração
vem de um força que me fez assim
vem das palavras lembranças e flores
regadas em mim
o tempo pode mudar
a chuva lava o que já passou
resta somente o que eu já vivi
resta somente o que ainda sou
a luz que acende o olhar
vem pelos cantos da imaginação
vem por caminhos
que eu nunca passei
como se a vida soubesse de sonhos
que eu nunca sonhei
vem do infinito da estrela cadente
do espelho da alma
dos filhos da gente
de algum lugar só para iluminar
a força vem de onde eu venho
de tudo o que acende
a vida calada
me olha me entende
o que eu sou
tudo o que é maior
vem do amor
vem do amor
a luz que acende o olhar
vem dos romances que viram poesia
vem quando quer se quiser se vier
vem pra acender e mostrar o amor
que a gente não via
vem como um passe de pura magia
como se o visse e jurasse
que há tempo já te conhecia
vem do infinito da estrela cadente
do espelho da alma
dos filhos da gente
de algum lugar só pra iluminar
a força vem de onde eu venho
de tudo o que acende
a vida calada
me olha e entende
o que eu sou
tudo o que é maior
vem da luz que acende o olhar
vem das histórias que me adormeciam
vem do que a gente não consegue ver
vem e me acalma me traz e me leva
p'ra perto de você
e me leva
mais p'ra perto de você
