Pertinho do Pai

Ah, if I could fly
I would be with God, close to the Father
Ah, if I could fly
I would be with God, close to the Father

There I would have no sadness or affliction
Only joy, peace, and consolation
Close to God, close to the Father
Close to God, close to the Father

Ah, if I could fly
I would fly to the sky of light and embrace my dear Jesus
Ah, if I could fly
I would fly to the sky of light and embrace my dear Jesus

I would forget this earth forever
And wouldn't want to come back, only to stay
Close to God, close to the Father
Close to God, close to the Father

Ah, if I could fly
I would be with my God
There I wouldn't even remember my problems
And the trials here on this earth
I would embrace my Jesus
See the brothers who have already departed
Ah, if I could fly!
