Particularmente

Esta época do ano é-me particularmente difícil de atravessar.

Pelo clima, talvez.
Pelas lembranças...
Pelo balanço que acabo por fazer, de mais um ano.
E em que tudo permanece - parece-me a mim - na mesma.
E não que eu não tivesse feito nada para alterá-lo!


Enquanto isso, ouço músicas assim!


"I Can

MY BACK'S AGAINST THE WALL
MY DREAMS ARE ON THE FLOOR
I'M OUT OF LUCK
EVERY DAY IS HARDER
SEEMS I'M GETTING FURTHER AWAY
IT WOULD BE SO EASY
STARTING TO BELIEVE IN GIVING UP
SOMETHINGS GOT TO CHANGE
DON'T KNOW IF I CAN KEEP THE FAITH

EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO SAY THE ODDS ARE IMPROBABLE
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S INSIDE OF ME

I CAN
COZ I BELIEVE I CAN, I WILL
I'M HOLDING ON UNTIL I DO
NOT GIVING UP, I'M GONNA FIND A WAY TO PUSH ON THROUGH
THOUGH I AM, JUST AN ORDINARY MAN
I'M GONNA DO MY BEST
I KNOW I AM SOMEBODY
I CAN

SOMETHING ELSE INSIDE IS TELLING ME TO NEVER LET IT DIE
JUST BECAUSE A MOUNTAIN SEEMS A LITTLE HIGH TO CLIMB
SOMETHING IN MY SOUL SAYS NEVER LET IT GO
AND DON'T YOU HIDE
DON'T LEAVE YOUR DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
YOUR RUBY IN THE DUST
LET IT SHINE

EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO TELL ME THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S INSIDE OF ME

I CAN
COZ I BELIEVE I CAN, I WILL
I'M HOLDING ON UNTIL I DO
NOT GIVING UP, I'M GONNA FIND A WAY TO PUSH ON THROUGH
THOUGH I AM, JUST AN ORDINARY MAN
I'M GONNA DO MY BEST
I KNOW I AM SOMEBODY
I CAN

I'M GONNA PUSH IT, GET ABOVE IT
TEAR DOWN THAT WALL IF IT'S BRICK BY BRICK
GOTTA DO IT, I'VE GOTTA BE
I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE MY DREAMS IN THE DARKNESS

WELL I KNOW, DO YOU KNOW IT TO

I CAN, I WILL
I'M HOLDING ON UNTIL I DO
NOT GIVING UP, I'M GONNA FIND A WAY TO PUSH ON THROUGH
THOUGH I AM, JUST AN ORDINARY MAN
I'M GONNA DO MY BEST
I KNOW I AM SOMEBODY

WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE SOMEONE
YOU CAN, EVEN IF YOU STAND ALONE
YOU FIND THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON
JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
EVEN IF YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD
IT'S YOUR LIFE, YOU DONT GET A CHANCE TO LIVE IT TWICE
I KNOW, KNOW YOU ARE SOMEBODY
I KNOW I AM SOMEONE
AND I CAN"
