Saudade

Saudade

Sense memory takes long to fade
And on my feet I feel it still
The temperature of salty spray
The soft wet sand with ocean's chill

Footsteps
My childhood footsteps
Upon this sand upon this earth
My feet remember it
And tears roll down my face
As past and present embrace

Nostalgia
In Portuguese they say "saudade"
A yearning for the past
Innocence that cannot last

Saudade
When I believed that right would always win
Saudade
Do I wish I could begin once again?

What would we do, what would we say
To write that song again
What changes in the game we play
Could make us trust again?

Was it really pure and innocent?
Those times so long ago?
Or was it just my childhood
Shielding me from what I could know?

Saudade
I long for a place where everyone is free
That is a place where humans live
In equality

Saudade
Do I seek a utopia that cannot be?
Or if we work together
Could this be our reality?
Saudade
