Ask Fado what it saw in me
How it found me and we've walked arm in arm
Since I can remember it's been this way
Don't ask me why I chose it
My heart was already talking to it and I listened
It was the song of the streets where I grew up
That cradled the song of my agony
Don't ask if I've made up my mind
It's no choice, it's being, it's a mark
Don't ask if the sadness weighs on me
From these verses and such ancient poems
It's a song that's a prayer, it's a plea
That turns my demons into my friends
Don't ask me why I want to stay
When the whole world starts and ends right here
It was the one that saw me and came to get me
All those other lives I'd lived without knowing
Don't ask if I've made up my mind
It's no choice, it's being, it's a mark
Don't ask if I've made up my mind
It's no choice, it's being, it's a mark
