Toada from Luz by Dani & Debora Gurgel Quarteto
Sometimes it feels like a song was already written, somewhere in the universe, just waiting for someone to translate it into notes and words. During harsh times for all of us, this one came out naturally and unplanned, just like a prayer. It portrays a grim day, when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, that everything went wrong as if your hands were tied, your back is curved and your legs are weak. And at night you sing this song to ask for a better tomorrow. Since we wrote it, we do sing it after a bad day.

Lyrics
Tem dia que o lastro aperta
Que a mera vontade se esquiva
E a vida se arrasta no chão
É dia que as costas envergam
Dia que a perna empena
Que o ar não completa o pulmão
E grito no peito
Tudo que podia ter feito
Que nada terminou direito
Como se me atassem as mãos
E à noite eu peço nesta toada
Que do dia não fique nada
E que me liberte amanhã
