One Kilo of Gold

Groovy acoustic thumb-slap beat

Born early morning before summer could start

Seven months in the cradle, a hundred-pound heart

Wrapped in cold Paris skies, calling you "Um Quilo" with love

Soren running right by your side from above

Warm guitar chords swell

At three years old you tapped my knee and said:

"Pai, vou ser médica", no tears to be shed

"I’m gonna heal the family, take care of home"

Rich vocal harmony, warm bassline

You were one kilo on the scale back then

But a heart of a ton, again and again

Down in Manaus, studying late through the night

Longe da família, chasing the light

Yeah, you’re our anjo, sweet angel of mine

One kilo of gold learning how to shine

Bluesy electric guitar embellishments

Full-time mission in the heat and dust

Learned about faith and who you could trust

Med school doors were heavy to turn

Leaving your room with the passion you earned

Fingerpicked acoustic strip down

It hurts to be far, yeah, the miles are real

But watching you become who you’re born to be

Is the greatest feeling a father can feel

Full band groove returns

You were one kilo on the scale back then

Now a heart of a ton, again and again

Down in Manaus, saving lives every day

Um coração de cem quilos leading the way

You’re our anjo, sweet doctor of mine

One kilo of gold, watch you shine!

Soft acoustic guitar riff fade

Watch you shine... sweet angel of mine
