Alvorada

Alguém perguntou, noutro sítio, qual era o nosso primeiro pensamento de manhã ao acordar. Eu, que sempre fui um tipo de acordar cedo e, em geral, bem disposto e basicamente pronto, e um gajo que precisava de poucas horas de sono para recuperar, vejo-me confrontado com a realidade destes últimos, vá lá, quatro anos. Tenho sono, estou cansado, preciso de mais. Até o flagelo do "dormir no sofá alarvemente" já me acontece. Portanto, de manhã, em geral, o que penso quando o despertador toca é isto:

Tears of the Dragon

For too long now, there were secrets in my mind 
For too long now, there were things I should have said 
In the darkness...I was stumbling for the door 
To find a reason - to find the time, the place, the hour 

Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day 
The misty ghosts of childhood fears 
The pressure is building, and I can't stay away 

I throw myself into the sea 
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed 
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me 

Where I was, I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was, I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions frozen in an icy lake
I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break

I have no power over this, you know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away...

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me 

Slowly I awake, slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away...

I throw (I throw)
Myself (myself)
Into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face (to face)
The fear (the fear)
I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me

I throw (I throw)
Myself (myself)
Into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face (to face)
The fear (the fear)
I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
