Mantem-Te Firme

I have nothing left, I feel too weak to fight,
It's like dying of thirst in the middle of the sea and drowning,
I feel isolated, with so many people around me,
You don’t hear the scream of my revolt.
I cry while laughing, it’s stronger than I thought,
Inside I’m a beggar pretending to be a king.
I don’t know what I’m running from, but I have little hope left,
It’s sad to be so young and already think life’s not worth it.
My legs tremble, time passes, I feel the fatigue,
The wind blows, in the mirror I see failure,
The day breaks, something tells me to be careful,
I wander aimlessly, don’t even know if I’m awake.
Smiles are scarce, today sadness is queen,
I don’t know if the soul exists, but I know someone hurt mine.
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be happy,
While I hear a voice inside me that says...

Stay strong,
when you think you can’t fight,
that the world is ending,
listen to the voice inside you!
Stay strong,
don’t forget you can always choose,
nobody can beat you,
use the strength inside you!

Stay strong,
when you think you can’t fight,
that the world is ending,
listen to the voice inside you!
Stay strong,
don’t forget you can always choose,
nobody can beat you,
use the strength inside you!

Not a day goes by that I don’t ask God why I was born,
I didn’t ask for this, someone tell me what I’m doing here,
If it were up to me, I would’ve stayed where I was,
Where I didn’t think, didn’t exist, didn’t cry,
I’m a prisoner of myself, my worst enemy,
Sometimes I think I spend too much time with me.
I look around, I don’t see anyone to help me,
a shoulder to lean on, a smile to cheer me up.
Who am I? Where am I going? Where did I come from?
Someone tell me why I feel this way.
I feel like the blame is mine, but I don’t know why,
I feel tears in my eyes but, no one sees them.
I’m tired of myself, tired of what I am, tired of what I think.
Show me the way out of this immense abyss.
I wonder if I’ll ever be happy,
While I hear a voice inside me that says...

Stay strong,
when you think you can’t fight,
that the world is ending,
listen to the voice inside you!
Stay strong,
don’t forget you can always choose,
nobody can beat you,
use the strength inside you!

Stay strong,
when you think you can’t fight,
that the world is ending,
listen to the voice inside you!
Stay strong,
don’t forget you can always choose,
nobody can beat you,
use the strength inside you!

I try not to break down but, I’m not made of steel,
When I think everything will pass, it feels like I’m buried deeper,
I feel a gray cloud that follows me wherever I go,
and I think to myself, does God want me?
Life is a real shit, and then comes death,
each with their own fate, each with their own luck.
I don’t ask for much, I don’t ask for more than I deserve,
I look back and analyze everything I’ve done.
And even when I was wrong, it was trying to do good,
I don’t know hate, I don’t wish harm on anyone.
A ray of light will shine through the crap,
because even a stopped clock is right twice a day!
I keep holding on, hope is the last to die,
in this uncertain game, I can’t predict the outcome,
and when I think of giving up because I feel unhappy,
I hear a voice inside me that says...

Stay strong,
when you think you can’t fight,
that the world is ending,
listen to the voice inside you!
Stay strong,
don’t forget you can always choose,
nobody can beat you,
use the strength inside you!

Stay strong,
when you think you can’t fight,
that the world is ending,
listen to the voice inside you!
Stay strong,
don’t forget you can always choose,
nobody can beat you,
use the strength inside you!

Stay strong, yeah....

...

Stay strong,
when you think you can’t fight,
that the world is ending,
listen to the voice inside you!
Stay strong,
don’t forget you can always choose,
nobody can beat you,
use the strength inside you!
