SHELLS UPPON THE WARM SANDS

by Marcelo Maciel de Almeida

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth

A castle in the sky, heaven on the earth

Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven

Heaven is my journey, take me now, my God

The eye is the lamp of the body

Your words are lamp to my flash, to my feet

I want my whole body filled with light

Take my mortal soul now, my dear hopeful God

No more darkness, no more tears, no more cries

I want to serve an only mater

No more worries about a single life

Look at the birds of the air

They do not sow or reap or store away in barns

Shells uppon the warm sands

FAR AWAY

by Marcelo Maciel de Almeida

Forever sad, no more memories from home

Away from home, nowhere is my journey

Rivers flow, far from the sun, to a far-off-island

A way to go, nowhere to go...

Ways away, ways to go, where should I go?

A cold wave crashes upon me now

Yellow sands, full of shells, sea shells

Far away, far away, away, away...

A way to go, nowhere to go

Rivers flow, hope has a place, for a place, a hope

A web, a mysterious hidden far-off-place...

Wings to fly, roads of lives full of mysteries

Always by my side, you to guide me

Yellow sands, far away, away, away...
