where i was born
i was raised to believe
in the higher power
in the divine power
‘reza pro papai do céu!’
where i was born
i was raised to love someone
upon anyone
‘ame a Deus acima de todas as coisas’
when i grew
a little bit,
a little too much in mind
so much that mom forced me
to pray to a power
i dont even believe in
yells
just yells
no, mom!
that way i won’t even listen to myself!
—perhaps that’s what it’s all about.
