Corrente Firme

[Verse 1]
That thin envelope, dusty and far-flung,
Didn't smell like ocean, or the songs we once sung.
But my name written steady, in a hand I know best,
Felt like a tide turning, putting my soul to the test.

[Chorus]
Oh, the currents may pull you, to places unknown,
But our roots run too deep, like the coral stone.
You're a beacon, my brother, out on that wide blue sea,
And the heart of Bahia's still beating for you and for me!

[Verse 2]
You wrote of red earth, not the kind here at home,
And horizons that shimmer, where the waves never foam.
But the grit in your words, strong as a fisherman's plea,
Reminded me of struggles, out on the deep, wild sea.
The taste of salt on the wind, brother, it carried your fight,
A promise of morning breaking through endless night.

[Chorus]
Oh, the currents may pull you, to places unknown,
But our roots run too deep, like the coral stone.
You're a beacon, my brother, out on that wide blue sea,
And the heart of Bahia's still beating for you and for me!

[Bridge]
There's wisdom in waiting, like watching the slow tide climb,
Knowing every dark reef won't last for all time.
You're charting your course, through the storm and the spray,
And the shifting sand beneath my feet is counting down the day.

[Outro]
Yeah, counting down the day, till you ride that last wave home,
To the rhythm of Bahia, no longer to roam.
