I have seen many cups lost and many cups won
Yet one battle broke my heart open and left me all torn
To see my bold, beautiful Brazil, on home soil
They came ready to play their hearts out and did toil
Then, came fair strangers who ushered a new reign
They came for battle, their goals poured like a cold rain
Embrace life’s blessings along with her lessons
Everyone you meet comes bearing gifts of light
Everything happens so your path shines bright
Pay attention to the valleys and the mountains
Pay attention to the passions and the pains.
Don’t ask me to explain myself
What I want or what I don’t
Don’t ask me to explain myself
Who I love or who I don’t.
Because I’d have changed before
you completed your question.
My mind is again reborn
before my answer is formed.
I wanted to go away, escape
To seek him in walled spaces
But discovered that he’s here
in familiar, strange unloved faces
In the hidden places, where we fear
in our fresh forgotten memories
Trapped in openings of veiled laces
