Lyrics
Dez centavos de sol na palma da minha mão,
A conta de luz de Abril, fria na outra.
O pó das prateleiras dança quieto no farol
Que invade a sala e me aponta a porta.
[Chorus]
Oh, Pai, me ensina a florescer no vão.
Me dá raiz que fura o chão de pedra.
[Verse 2]
Lembro das suas mãos, um mapa de casca e calo,
Plantando o que não era seu no quintal do Barão.
Um cheiro de terra molhada invade o meu quarto
E a sua voz me chega feito uma canção.
[Spoken Interlude]
(Voz de um homem mais velho, gravada à distância)
"Ele dizia: 'Meu filho, a semente não pergunta o preço da terra. Ela só precisa de uma fresta pra ser teimosa.'"
[Chorus]
Oh, Pai, me ensina a florescer no vão.
Me dá raiz que fura o chão de pedra.
[Bridge]
E na fresta do muro, uma flor amarela e anônima
Zomba do concreto, ri da minha pressa.
[Outro]
Dez centavos de sol...
Pra comprar uma fresta...
