If You Hold a Stone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you hold a stone, hold it in your hand
If you feel the weight, you'll never be late
To understand
But if you hold the stone, hold it in your hand
If you feel the weight, you'll never be late
To understand
If you hold a stone, marinheiro só
Hold it in your hand, marinheiro só
If you feel the weight, marinheiro só
you'll never be late, marinheiro só
To understand…
Mas eu não sou daqui
Marinheiro só
Eu não tenho amor
Eu sou da Bahia
De São Salvador
Eu não vim aqui
Para ser feliz
Cadê meu sol dourado
E cadê as coisas do meu país
