O Mais Difícil É Ser Deus

Fernando Iglesias' song 'O Mais Difícil É Ser Deus' delves into the profound and often paradoxical relationship between humanity and divinity. The lyrics begin with a poignant scene where the narrator, sitting by the beach during low tide, sends a heartfelt question to God through the sea. The question reflects the human experience of suffering, hunger, and witnessing loved ones in pain. This sets the stage for a divine response that bridges the gap between human suffering and divine empathy.

The song's narrative takes a transformative turn as the narrator falls asleep on the sand and awakens to a new dawn, symbolizing hope and renewal. The gentle breeze and the Holy Spirit's presence bring a sense of peace, and the sea's voice delivers God's answer. God reminds the narrator that He has lived on Earth, experienced humility, betrayal, and need, emphasizing that while His power is divine, His heart is human. This duality underscores the intimate connection between God and humanity, highlighting that God understands human suffering because He has experienced it firsthand.

In a profound twist, God then poses a question to the narrator, asking if they have ever considered how difficult it is to be God. This rhetorical question reveals the divine struggle of communicating with humanity, often met with disbelief and distance. The repetition of God's earthly experiences reinforces the message that God's heart, though divine, shares in human pain and betrayal. The song concludes with a powerful reflection on the complexities of being God, a being who offers salvation to those who may reject it and who understands the essence of being human, angelic, and divine. Yet, despite these experiences, the most challenging role remains being God, a testament to the divine empathy and the burdens of omnipotence.
