II. MY STORY

I will tell my story

From when it began

Santo Daime is my life

My path, my teacher

Now I will say

What it has taught me

Whoever follows this path

Let them walk very slowly

Paying close attention

So as not to miss the way

Slowly one also arrives

There at the destined point

For we are children of God

None is forsaken

This path is divine

It is how one arrives there

One must have love

One must be humble

It is with calm and patience

That love is acquired

Casting out ignorance

Which is a devourer

My brothers, pay attention

Let us be attentive

Let us make firm our story

So that we be not liars

I am afraid to speak

Because I am very little

I came to give my message

I go on following my path

I trust in my Father

He has all power

I ask strength of my Mother

Do not let me falter
