No Alto do Monte

In 'No Alto do Monte,' MARY. crafts a poignant narrative about the spiritual journey and the quest for divine connection. The song's title, which translates to 'On Top of the Mountain,' sets the stage for a metaphorical ascent towards a higher spiritual plane. The lyrics describe the act of climbing a mountain to be closer to a divine presence, symbolizing the effort and dedication required to strengthen one's faith. This imagery is powerful, as mountains often represent challenges and the pursuit of enlightenment in various cultural and religious contexts.

The song emphasizes the importance of faith and trust in this journey. MARY. sings about the certainty of reaching the divine when one has faith, even in the face of life's difficulties. The lyrics, 'Pois confiando em ti, o alcançar é certo' ('For trusting in you, reaching is certain'), highlight the assurance that faith provides. The song also touches on the comfort and guidance that come from divine communication, suggesting that spiritual solace is found in listening to and trusting in a higher power.

Furthermore, 'No Alto do Monte' addresses the communal aspect of faith. MARY. acknowledges that walking the path of faith alone is challenging, if not impossible. The lyrics, 'O andar contigo senhor, é difícil, mas se formos sozinhos / Isto se tornará impossível' ('Walking with you, Lord, is difficult, but if we go alone / It will become impossible'), underscore the necessity of divine companionship and support. The song concludes with a note of gratitude, recognizing the blessings and protection received from the divine. This gratitude reinforces the theme of faith as a sustaining force in the journey of life.
