Preciso de um Chão

Preciso de um chão firme,

Que me dê segurança

Para deixar a cabeça nas nuvens

Sem medo de tropeçar.

Preciso de um chão por onde eu ande,

E que me leve até o mar,

Ao limiar das coisas vivas,

Ao  portal das coisas mortas.

Preciso de um chão tranquilo,

Entre ruas retas e ruas tortas,

Pavimentado de sonhos,

Ladeado por mundos não percorridos

Cheios de novas promessas.

Preciso de um chão de cidades

E de ruas desertas, mas sem saudades,

Ruas silenciosas e calmas

Onde haja cafés nas calçadas

Para que eu possa me sentar.

Preciso de um chão onde eu me plante,

E de onde eu um dia me arranque

Sem matar  minhas raízes;

Um chão de terras felizes,

Férteis, macias, e úmidas,

Morno de todos os raios de sol, 

Com o cheiro de todas as gotas de chuva.

Preciso de um chão que seja meu,

O meu espaço reservado,

Um chão onde fiquem marcados

Os passos do que eu vivi 

E o que me foi negado.

Que haja um espaço seguro

Para a última semente que cair,

Quando o chão me receber

Em seu ventre mais escuro.

Poema escrito ao ouvir e acompanhar a letra de:

Tell The World

Lecrae

  

Now, I’mma tell the world, tell ‘em

I’mma tell it everywhere I go

Tell the world, tell ‘em

Yeah, I’m a billboard

Tell the world, tell ‘em

And I’m broadcastin’ like a radio

Tell the world

You ought to know, I’m brand new

I know one thing’s true: I don't even really deserve to know you

But, I-I’m a witness that you did this, and I'm brand new

So, I-I'm read’ to go, and I’mma tell the world what they need to know

A slave to myself, but you let me go

I tried getting high but it left me low

You did what they could never do

You cleaned up my soul and

Gave me new life

I'm so brand new

And that’s all that matters

I-I ain’t love you first, but you first loved me

In my heart I cursed you, but you set me free

I gave you no reason to give me new seasons

To give new life, new breathing

But you hung there bleedin’

And ya’ died for my lies and my cheatin’

My lust and my greed (and, Lord!)

What is a man that you mindful of him?

And what do I have to deserve this lovin’?

Tryna make the moments last

Holdin’ on to the past

But, like a hero in a dream

Christ came, and he rescued me

Now, I’mma tell the world

Tell the world, tell ‘em

I’mma tell it everywhere I go

Tell the world, tell ‘em

Yeah, I’m a billboard

Tell the world, tell ‘em

And I’m broadcastin’ like a radio

Tell the world

You ought to know, I’m brand new

I can't offer you nothin’, but your care & kindness keeps comin’

And your love is so unconditional, I get butterflies in my stomach

I got the old me in the rearview, now the new me got a clear view

And I was so dead, I couldn't hear you

Too deep in sin to come near you

But you drew me in, you cleaned me up

So take me home, beam me up

Before you do, just let me tell the truth

And let these folks know that I done seen ya’ love

And it's everlasting, infinite, it goes on and on, you can’t measure it

Can’t quench ya’ love, they can’t separate us from the love of God There’s no estimate

My face look the same, my frame ain’t rearranged

But I’m changed I promise I ain’t the same

Your love’s so deep you suffered and took pain

You died on the cross to give me a new name

Ain’t nothing like I've seen before, I got a beaming glow

I was low, down, and dirty, but you cleaned me, Lord

You adopted me, you keep rocking me

I'mma tell the world, and ain’t nobody stopping me!
