QUEM PROCURA SEMPRE ENCONTRA

Às vezes, aquilo de que mais precisamos está no sítio onde menos esperamos. "Carros", de John Lasseter, um dos melhores filmes que vi em 2006 (e, ao fim de duas visões, ninguém me convence do contrário — façam o favor de tirar a prova dos nove, se ainda não a tiraram), não é sobre outra coisa.

when you find yourself
in some far off place
and it causes you
to rethink some things
you start to sense that slowly you're becoming someone else
and then you find yourself

when you make new friends
in a brand new town
and you start to think
about settling down
the things that would have been lost on you are now clear as a bell
and you find yourself
that's when you find yourself

when you go through life
so sure of where you're heading
and you wind up lost
and it's the best thing it could have happened
because sometimes when you lose your way
it's really just as well
because you find yourself
that's when you find yourself

when you meet the one
you've been waiting for
and she's everything
that you want and more
you look at her and you finally stop to live for someone else
and then you find yourself
that's when you find yourself

you go through life
so sure of where you're heading
and then you wind up lost
and it's the best thing could have happened
sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well
because you find yourself
that's when you find yourself.

— Brad Paisley, "Find Yourself", para a banda-sonora de "Carros" (Walt Disney Records, 2006)
