lyrics

All these hardships that I face
From the start
I use as a stone to sharpen the blade
Of my heart
And with this blade
I will cut myself free
From the nets that were bind to keep me
'Cause from the right path
They don't want me to find
But I won't be misled by any false sign, no

I gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
Don't you know, don't you know?
I gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
(scatting)

As we walk along this road of years
You replace my hopes with fears
Your seconds seem to be the streams
Which carry away my dreams
Time, must you be my enemy?
Well, my pain is a seed of knowledge
I must sow
With blood and sweat
Into wisdom it will grow
Ghosts of insecurity
You've bent me enough
Now let me be
You can't keep me down
Cause through my struggles
I only gain
The strength and wisdom to see me through
Your storms of lighting, thunder and rain

Gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
Gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
(scatting)

(portuguese rapping)

As we walk along this road of years
You replace my hopes with fears
Your seconds are the streams
Which take away my dreams, oh
Time why must you be my enemy?

(portuguese rapping)

Gotta walk a proud line, my friend
Oh, gotta walk a proud line
Don't listen to what they say
Gotta walk a proud line, my friend
No, gotta walk a proud line
Gotta walk a proud line, my friend
You gotta walk a proud line

Proud line, my friends
