PRAY FOR ME

(From CD UCANDOIT, 2000)
Mother from South America, father from Europe
I’ve been all over the world
Nothing looks so big or so great anymore
I think I’ve been here before (deja vu...)
Everyone should be free to choose a place to live
I’m afraid that place for me doesn’t exist
(that’s why I ask you to..)
PRAY FOR ME, LET ME FIND MY WAY HOME
PRAY FOR ME, LET ME KNOW WHERE I BELONG
Spanish is too complicated
Portuguese too sophisticated
English is too fast
Maybe I should stay in silence
Like the trees who speak no violence
In my Latin heart I know, cities are not too good for souls
But doesn’t matter where I go I feel lost, once more..
(so please..)
PRAY FOR ME, LET ME FIND MY WAY HOME
PRAY FOR ME, LET ME KNOW WHERE I BELONG
I know You’re waiting for me in that island of love
I hear your Voice calling me but I don’t know which road
I should take to You
SALVAJE

I'M LIKE A SAVAGE
IT'S THE SEA AND IT'S BREEZE
THE SUN THAT CARESSES ME
MY NAKED BODY LIKE A RIPE FRUIT
IS WAITING FOR YOU
COME HERE TO MY JUNGLE
LOVE ME IN THE DIRT
LEAVE THE CITY ALREADY
THAT IS SAD LONELINES
THAT IS KILLING YOU
SAVAGE, I'M A SAVAGE
I WANNA LOVE YOU IN THE WILDERNESS
LOST IN THE TREES
UNDER THE RAIN, OF THE RAIN FOREST
SAVAGE, I'M A SAVAGE
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT RULES
TAKE ME OUT OF THIS CONCRETE WALLS
THE NIGHT COMES
WITH ALL THE STARS
COOL SOFT WIND OF THE MOON
THE WOODS, AND THE LAGOON
THERE, I WAIT FOR YOU
DON'T BE AFRAID OF ME
I'M JUST FREE, THAT'S ALL
I WANNA SHOW YOU
THE BEAUTY OF NATURE
FIRST THINGS FIRST

LIFE HAS BEEN SO GOOD LATELY
I GOTTA REMEMBER
IT'S ALL BECAUSE RECOVERY
I GOTTA TAKE SOME ACTION
HELP THE NEWCOMER
NO MORE DISTRACTIONS
WHEN I GET SO BUSY
AND I FEEL SOMETHING'S MISSING
LIKE THE OLD TIMER SAYS
DO THE NEXT RIGHT THING
AND GOD WILL DO THE REST
FIRST THINGS FIRST
I GOTTA GET OUT OF BED
(AND GO TO A MEETING...)
I GOTTA TAKE DIRECTION THIS TIME
FIRST THINGS FIRST
JUST DON'T PICK UP TODAY
(NO MATTER WHAT...)
YOU BETTER SURRENDER THIS TIME
WHEN I FEEL SO ALONE
I BETTER OPEN THAT BIG BOOK
PICK UP THAT PHONE
(THEY TOLD ME) GOTTA TAKE SOME ACTION
HELP SOMEONE TODAY
NO MORE DESTRUCTION
YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
YOU SEE, I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
I HAD TO STOP. COULDN'T DO IT BY MYSELF
THAT'S WHY I GOT A GOD
