Anima
Leila Pinheiro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Toda trama lapidar
O que o coração
Com toda inspiração
Achou de nomear
Gritando "alma"
Recriar cada momento belo já vivido e ir mais
E, ao entardecer, olhar com calma, então
Alma vai além de tudo
O que o nosso mundo ousa perceber
Casa cheia de coragem, vida
Tira a mancha que há no meu ser
Te quero ver
Te quero ser
Alma
Viajar nessa procura toda de me lapidar
Nesse momento agora de meu recriar
De me gratificar
Te busco, alma, eu sei
Casa aberta
Onde mora um mestre
O mago da luz
Onde se encontra um tempo que inventa a cor
Animará o amor
Onde se esquece a paz
Alma vai além de tudo
O que o nosso mundo ousa perceber
Casa cheia de coragem, vida
Toda a força que há no meu ser
Te quero ver
Te quero ser
Alma
Lapidar minha procura
Toda trama lapidar
O que o coração
Com toda inspiração
Achou de nomear
Gritando "alma"
Alma vai além de tudo
O que o nosso mundo ousa perceber
Casa cheia de coragem, vida
Toda a força que há no meu ser
Te quero ver
Te quero ser
Alma
