Verdadeira Identidade

Mary Ellem's song 'Verdadeira Identidade' is a powerful declaration of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. The lyrics convey a journey from darkness to light, symbolizing a profound transformation brought about by faith. The opening lines, 'O Pai me colocou / Uma nova realidade / Me tirou das trevas / E me deu a eternidade,' suggest a divine intervention that has led the singer to a new, eternal reality. This newfound identity is not just a superficial change but a deep, intrinsic understanding of who they are, as emphasized by the repeated affirmation, 'Hoje eu sei quem sou' (Today I know who I am).

The song continues to build on this theme of transformation and liberation. The repeated declarations of being healed, liberated, free, and prosperous ('Curado sou / Liberto sou / Livre eu sou / Próspero sou') highlight the various dimensions of this newfound identity. These affirmations are not just personal but also spiritual, indicating a holistic sense of well-being and fulfillment. The chorus, 'Filho eu sou' (I am a child), reinforces the idea of belonging and being part of a larger, divine family.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift towards a commitment to this new identity. The lines 'Decido me render / E renunciar / Decido acreditar / No que você me diz' reflect a conscious decision to surrender and believe in the divine message. This act of faith is portrayed as a choice to live by love and grace, which ultimately leads to a celebration of life free from death, illness, and misery. The closing lines, 'Estou assentado com Ele / O meu papel é celebrar,' encapsulate the essence of the song: a life transformed by faith, now dedicated to celebration and gratitude.
