Lyrics
Na Rua do Tesouro, em frente ao arquivo,
a figueira rachou o concreto de novo.
Eu guardo a foto daquele fiapo vivo,
com medo do homem que em mim eu promovo.
[Chorus]
E se um dia eu virar a raiz de asfalto?
A flor teimosa que ninguém mais rega.
A memória curta, o abraço falho,
a casa que por dentro se nega.
[Verse 2]
Lembro sua voz na umidade da sala,
"Cuidado, meu filho, com chão que não cede."
O cheiro de dendê que o vento me embala
já não me encontra, me pendura na rede.
[Chorus]
E se um dia eu virar a raiz de asfalto?
A flor teimosa que ninguém mais rega.
A memória curta, o abraço falho,
a casa que por dentro se nega.
[Bridge]
Só o tambor. Só a voz.
O homem que serei
depois de nós.
[Outro]
Um grão de terra no meu sapato.
Só um grão.
