Viola Davis Presentation 2
On the day the bailiffs came
Took the keys away
Took their home away
And honestly they felt ashamed
They couldn't foresee it
They couldn't believe it
In the hills
The October fields such a secret
And who would believe it
It's a great day for the valleys
It's a great day for them all
She takes her time
Sings of the love
No one believed her
She made the tea
Left all the keys
She's such a seeker
And no one believed her
It's a great day for the valleys
It's a great day for them all
It's a great day, it's a new day
For them all
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
It's a great day for the valleys
It's a great day for them all
It's a great day, it's a new day
For them all
I have spent all my previous life
Waiting for something else to start
Now I see that I have felt so numb
To everything that passed me by
Need to go land on my own two feet
Need to change my life this way
Need to free my mind of memories
Watch them how they screw my brain
The time that has come
Convinced what I feel inside
In darkness I float
How far is the light?
Inside â fearland
Don't want you to know
Outside â fearless
I do want you to watch
Do you mind?
Would you step aside
Make way for me
Can't you see I'm dead set on doing this
Enough of dreamless nights
Enough of sleepless nights
I'm the way I am
Get out of my sight
DO YOU MIND?
You can put me in the lion's cage
You can take my soul
Give a second name
But I don't intend to stop my fight
And I'm not afraid
O dia vai se acabando
A tarde vai se afastando
Outra noite vai chegar
Lembranças vão se apossando
Solidão vai dominando
Não consigo mais pensar
É dificil caminhar
Controlar a ansiedade
Quando o coração não pode
Se livrar de uma saudade
Ah! Eu não sei, eu não sei
Viver assim
Falta você, falta você, falta você
Você em mim
