Muita Luz
Martinho Da Vila Lyrics
Lâmpadas, faróis, lanternas
Archotes, velas, lampiões
Lamparinas, gambiarras
Holofotes e clarões
Clara luz que vem de longe
Brilhos no meu coração
Se eu estou na claridade
Quero luz pro meu irmão
Relampejos, pirilampos
Lua, sol, brilhante olhar
Céu vermelho além dos campos
Ofuscante, cintilar
A beijos, abraços, afagos
O fogo do amor conduz
Como a estrela que guiou os magos
Pr'aquele que é sempre luz
Viva Jesus!
A beijos, abraços, afagos
O fogo do amor conduz
Como a estrela que guiou os magos
Pr'aquele que é sempre luz
Archotes, velas, lampiões
Lamparinas, gambiarras
Holofotes e clarões
Clara luz que vem de longe
Brilhos no meu coração
Se eu estou na claridade
Quero luz pro meu irmão
Lua, sol, brilhante olhar
Céu vermelho além dos campos
Ofuscante, cintilar
A beijos, abraços, afagos
O fogo do amor conduz
Como a estrela que guiou os magos
Pr'aquele que é sempre luz
Viva Jesus!
A beijos, abraços, afagos
O fogo do amor conduz
Como a estrela que guiou os magos
Pr'aquele que é sempre luz
