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...
