Show Me

John Legend surpreende-me cada vez mais. Não bastava o menino cantar arrepiantemente bem, ter um charme irresistível e um sorriso maroto, descobri que escreveu e compôs esta música linda a propósito desta campanha nobre e tocante.

O vídeo foi criado a pensar numa história verídica de dois rapazes que morreram de frio ao voarem clandestinamente da Guiné para a Bélgica. Vale a pena conhecer um pouco melhor a campanha, o trabalho feito pelo cantor e a sua equipa, e a realidade da pobreza em África, que teimosamente insistimos em manter à distância das nossas vidas tranquilas.

Quanto à música, é das que não me vou cansar de ouvir, porque é simplesmente magnífica.

I realized as I lay down to sleep

We haven't spoke in weeks

So many things that I'd like to know

Come have a talk with me

I need a sign, something I can see

Why all the mystery?

I try not to fall for make believe

But what is reality?

Where do we go?

What do we know?

Life has to have a meaning

Show me the light

Show me the way

Show that you're listening

Show me that you love me

Show me that you walk with me

Hopefully, just above me

Heaven's watching over me

Guess it's funny how I say thanks to you

For all you've given me

Sometimes the price of what you gave to me

I can't stop questioning

O God of love, peace, and mercy

Why so much suffering?

I pray for the world, it gets worse to me

Wonder if you're listening

When people go

Why do they go?

Why don't you choose me?

But someday I know

I'm gonna go

I hope you're waiting for me

Show me that you love me

Show me that you walk with me

Hopefully, just above me

Heaven's watching over me

Maybe we'll talk

Some other night

Right now I'll take it easy

Won't spent my time

Waiting to die

Enjoy the life I'm living

Show me that you love me

Show me that you walk with me

Hopefully, just above me

Heaven's watching over me...
