Lay Down Your Shield - Elijah Ray



Lay Down Your Shield

You're looking for the love again 
In temporary lovers and friends 
Never really looking at the one in the mirror 
Do you really think you can hide? 
And keep yourself locked up inside 
When the sun is shining right in your eyes, my dear 
There's nothing to fear 
It's time to remember why we're here 

I see that you have come so far 
and traveled many lives and stars 
just to realize who you really are 
I feel you reaching out tonight 
in the darkest hour comes the light 
Everything is gonna be alright 
I'll be with you tonight 
All you have to do is let me in... 

Oh, lay down 
Lay down your shield 
and tell me how it feels 
When you look deep inside 

Lay down your armor 
Lay down your fear 
Lay down your sword, beloved 
There's no enemies here 
There's no one to fight 
Nothing left to defend 
Cause I'm gonna love you till the end 

~Instrumental break~ 

I'm finally on my knees again 
In the temple of beloved within 
My story's in the tears running down my face 
It's taken me so long to see 
That the love that truly sets you free 
Is the love that you decide to be, my friends 
It's the love that never ends 
All you have to do is let it in 

Lay down your shield 
and tell me how you feel 
when you look into my eyes 

Lay down your shield 
and tell me how it feels 
when you look deep inside 

Lay down your armor 
Lay down your fear 
Lay down your sword, beloved 
There's no enemies here 
There's no one to fight 
Nothing left to defend 
Cause I'm gonna love you till the end

I am ... I said - Neil Diamond


La's fine, sunshine most of the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and the rents are low
But you know I keep thinking about
Making my way back

Well, I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
La's fine, but it ain't home
New York's home but it ain't mine no more

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
And then became one
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why

Casinha branca - Maria Bethania




Eu tenho andado tão sozinho ultimamente
Que nem vejo a minha frente
Nada que me dê prazer
Sinto cada vez mais longe a felicidade
Vendo em minha mocidade
Tanto sonho perecer
Eu queria ter na vida simplesmente
Um lugar de mato verde
Pra plantar e pra colher
Ter uma casinha branca de varanda
Um quintal e uma janela
Para ver o sol nascer
Às vezes saio a caminhar pela cidade
À procura de amizades
Vou seguindo a multidão
Mas eu me retraio olhando em cada rosto
Cada um tem seu mistério
Seu sofrer, sua ilusão
Eu queria ter na vida simplesmente
Um lugar de mato verde
Pra plantar e pra colher
Ter uma casinha branca de varanda
Um quintal e uma janela
Para ver o sol nascer
Eu queria ter na vida simplesmente
Um lugar de mato verde
Pra plantar e pra colher
Ter uma casinha branca de varanda
Um quintal e uma janela
Para ver o sol nascer ...


Composição: Gilson Campos e Joran

If - Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!

Give Me Love - Ed Sheeran


I See Fire - Ed Sheeran

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky
Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
Oh, should my people fall
Then surely…

A Walk On The Wild Side - Artic Monkeys (original de Lou Reed)

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the colored girls go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place
Where they said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, Joe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen them go, go, go
They said, "Hey, sugar,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
All right, huh
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the colored girls say,
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."



Blowin' in The Wind - Bob Dylan


How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
