Wanessa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Olhos que brilham no tempo, na vida
A luz, o olhar, a visão
E a vida assim me leva
Dama do jogo, do amor, da dança
Da alma, do mundo, da noite
E a vida assim me leva
Sentimento, coração
Felicidade, evolução

E a vida assim me leva
Céu, chão, sol, som, luz
Pés, mãos
E a vida assim me leva

Por um caminho que nós temos que passar
De coisas boas, outras nem tanto
Mas sei que tenho amigos para me ajudar
Sempre cantando, sempre sonhando

Natureza, outono, verão
Instinto, malícia, desejo, emoção
E a vida assim me leva
Linda beleza, menina de fé
Coragem de luta, de força
E a vida assim me leva
Sociedade, pensamento
Julgamento, preconceito
E a vida assim me leva
Caminho, degrau, vitória
Um risco, um sonho, final, recomeço
E a vida assim me leva

Por um caminho que nós temos que passar
De coisas boas, outras nem tanto

Mas sei que tenho amigos para me ajudar
Sempre cantando, sempre sonhando
