A Carta

Don't take everything so seriously
If it feels right, just let it flow
If you can trust your own judgment
There's nothing to fear
Don't take everything so lightly
Fight to get the best
If you mess up for love, God blesses
Just be yourself

Where your faith wavered
The flower of doubt bloomed
I'm gonna read the letter that Biel sent
To you, all the way from Brazil

They told me so much nonsense, just a bunch of crap
Like everyone always says
They told me that a collar and a bowl of food
Was all a dog ever wanted
They brought me a trap with some top-notch cheese
That got me, got me by the nose
They gave me a cage for a home, tied my wings
And told me to be happy

But how can I be happy on a perch?
How can I be happy without jumping?
But how can I be happy in a cage
If no one can be happy without flying?

Ah, I held back my tears to turn them into song
And to my surprise, my voice untied the knots
That were squeezing me so tight
And now without the rope around my neck, without bars on the window
And without the weight of the shackles on my hands
I found the key to this cell
I devoured my problem and swallowed the solution
Ah, if only everyone could know
How easy it is to live outside this prison
And discover that sadness has an end
And happiness can be as simple as a handshake
Got it?

This is the virus I suggest you catch
In the search for the cure for madness
Those with a hard head will drown in the shallows
