Luck is not always on my side (by my side)
But faith has never abandoned me (never abandoned me)
I am one more blessed survivor (blessed)
I'm in the mouth of the people and in the hand of the Lord (of the Lord)

I have more than a thousand reasons to smile (to smile)
I have more than a thousand reasons to cry (to cry)
I have more than a thousand reasons to give up (but I won't)
I have more than a thousand reasons to continue (and dream)

I woke up in the middle of the night to have a glass of water
When I saw my old lady on her knees
She must be thanking for everything I'm living
Or asking for a little more protection

It came to my memory back in school days
Several cool brothers who left and never came back
There are several stories, several plans, several girls, several guys
I ask God to have them in a good place

Death around here is no secret
I live with loneliness
True friends I can count on one hand
Those who didn't die are in prison

Today the longing hurt my chest
I'm looking for light in this darkness
Those who are true have my respect
Together we form a constellation

I know things are tough, getting weirder
I'm at risk in this concrete jungle
What keeps me strong is knowing how to play on the team
Acting transparently, speaking straight

Be yourself, nobody is perfect
The world is already full of replicas and copies
One day you make mistakes, the next you get it right
What matters is your own personality

A rocket explodes and a gold chain
That doesn't make you better than anyone
You can seek, run, conquer
But you have to learn to value what you have

Few lend you a hand when you're down
But many will want to be with you when you're up
Look around, be careful with allies
Life is much crazier than you imagine

Luck is not always on my side (by my side)
But faith has never abandoned me (never abandoned me)
I am one more blessed survivor (blessed)
I'm in the mouth of the people and in the hand of the Lord (in the hand of the Lord)

I have more than a thousand reasons to smile (to smile)
I have more than a thousand reasons to cry (to cry)
I have more than a thousand reasons to give up (but I won't)
I have more than a thousand reasons to continue (and dream)
