Cartas São Lágrimas
Angélica Azevedo
Tears Are Letters
When you kneel down to pray
And can't pray because you can't speak
Only God can understand, only God knows how to understand
When that hug no longer comforts
Beautiful words don't bring you peace
Only God can understand, only God knows how to understand
You knelt down silently, not knowing what to say
Alone locked in your room
Waiting for dawn
Your heart couldn't bear it and from your eyes
Sent a letter to God
When you can't express yourself
Without words, just babbling
Who sees you like that won't understand
Maybe that's why they'll judge you
If words are lacking in your prayer
When crying is a rule and not an option
God is watching you, He's looking at you
He's listening to you
If words are lacking in your prayer
When crying is a rule and not an option
God is watching you and will answer
Tears are letters that only God knows how to understand
You knelt down silently, not knowing what to say
Alone locked in your room
Waiting for dawn
Your heart couldn't bear it and from your eyes
Sent a letter to God
That choked voice of crying God heard
In that dawn of prayer He saw you
In the silent tears in your room He listened to you
God listened, He heard you
When you babbled without words He saw
Every tear that fell He saw
He saw you, He heard you
He saw you, He heard you
When you can't express yourself
Without words, just babbling
Who sees you like that won't understand
Maybe that's why they'll judge you
If words are lacking in your prayer
When crying is a rule and not an option
God is watching you, He's looking at you
He's listening to you
If words are lacking in your prayer
When crying is a rule and not an option
God is watching you and will answer
Tears are letters
That only God knows how to understand
Tears are letters
That only God knows how to understand
