Dia 25-12-07: Caravan of Love : Housemartins ( 1986 )

Procurei por muito tempo e por muitos lugares um símbolo para o "Espírito do Natal". Queria algo que não fosse só associado a uma religião ou credo em particular, ou que não separasse por cultura aquilo que é hoje o Ocidente, o Oriente, o Norte ou o Sul de um pequeno planeta espartilhado por raças e religiões.

Acabei descobrindo que a chama que brilha na escuridão é tão sómente isso: o verdadeiro espírito que atrai para a luz todos aqueles que receiem a escuridão.

A chama pode ser partilhada, e junto da fogueira há sempre lugar para mais um...

Significados para isto... cada um terá os seus.

No Ocidente, para uma determinada cultura e para um determinada religião, chamam-lhe...

O Espírito do Natal.

--------- Caravan of Love: Housemartins ( 1986 ) --

Are you ready

One by one we gonna stand up with pride

One that cant be denied

From the highest mountain of valley old

We all shall together with heart of gold

Now the children of the world can see

This a better place for us to be

The place is which we were born

So neglected and torn apart

And the day when everyone is free

Want you let chilled flow from your heart
