Degrau da Exaltação

Beatriz Andrade's song "Degrau da Exaltação" is a powerful anthem of faith and resilience. The lyrics convey a message of hope and divine justice, emphasizing that those who face adversity and opposition should remain steadfast and trust in God's plan. The song opens with the acknowledgment that there are people who wish to see the protagonist's downfall. However, instead of retaliating with negativity, the song advises maintaining a calm and humble demeanor, as God exalts the humble.

The central theme of the song is the belief that God will intervene in the lives of the faithful, sending angels to fight on their behalf. This divine intervention is depicted as a turning point in the protagonist's story, where enemies are forced to flee, recognizing the superior strength of the protagonist's God. The repetition of the phrase "O Deus dele é mais forte, eu não vou resistir" ("His God is stronger, I will not resist") underscores the overwhelming power of divine support.

The song culminates in a vision of victory and celebration. The protagonist's enemies will witness their ascent, symbolized by the "degrau da exaltação" ("step of exaltation"). This ascent is not just a personal triumph but a communal celebration, as the singer expresses certainty in sharing a table to commemorate the victory. The song's repetitive structure and uplifting message create a sense of assurance and joy, reinforcing the belief that faith and humility will ultimately lead to divine exaltation and triumph over adversity.
