Dos mistérios do universo
A luz e a escuridão
Fazem par, verso e reverso
Dos percursos da visão
A luz que corta qual faca
Afiada e bem precisa
E a escuridão, faca cega
Que só apalpa e alisa
A luz e a escuridão
As duas irmãs babaças
Uma diz sim e outra não
E ambas fazem suas graças
Aqui estão três irmas
A quem a luz disse não
E a escuridão disse sim
Acendendo a inspiração
Oh, vida de tanto enredo
De tantas contradições
Aqui estão olhos que veem
Pela luz dos corações
Ali, onde o olhar é oco
É a voz da luz que fala
Luz das ceguinhas do coco
Iluminando esta sala
