Vida Simples

The time I spent in the womb was the best thing that ever happened to me
Already in the formation of nine months, I related to God's voice
I listened, but I didn't speak. I felt, but I didn't see
Until one day I had to open the eyes of innocence to face the pain

The pain of falling several times before being able to walk alone
The pain of not having a toy when my parents couldn't buy one
And that's how I found happiness in paper
They made me a little boat, a little airplane
I've been a sailor, I've flown in the sky

I made soap bubbles, played in the beautiful summer rain
I turned a spool of thread or a tin can into my beautiful car
I didn't know the internet, I could even play in the street
At night, I counted stars, watched the moon

I can't forget the womb where I was conceived
My life is a legacy from God
My values will not be changed
The world will not steal my happiness
I won't trade the cradle of simplicity
For this emptiness of modern times

Can a man live in a palace, dwell in the desert, and not lose himself?
When He interprets life for what it is without depending on possessions
And may I have more than just memories
May I be what God wants me to be
I feel Him still creating me, still teaching me to stand

If I let life take me, I lose balance, I'll soon fall
This world offers me wings made of illusions, and who wouldn't want to fly?
Luckily, I found happiness in paper
They made me a little boat, a little airplane
I've been a sailor, I've flown in the sky
