Por La Verdad
Gerardo Mejia
For the Truth
To my Dad...
my Dad doesn't care about material things
because all material things stay here on earth
the invisible
what you can't see or touch
love
faith
and truth
One day you can be on top
a year later not even a dog comes near you
carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders
you end up in ruins
what's the right path against the fog
but I love my family and I get them out of this hole
no tricks
no deceit, no shady deals
just with the faith that lifts me up and strengthens me
and the effort of this body that falls many times
I look up waiting for an answer
Father in heaven get me out of this
I know sin counts and you don't like the mix
of Your people with the world, I know you detest it
that's why I promise you that's it, no more of that
I don't plan to go back
I never plan to be a prisoner of the sex and adultery that this environment brings
that prevents me from sharing with you in Your kingdom.
Chorus
That's how things happen in this life... in this life
you have to fight... you have to fight
for the truth... for the truth, for the truth
that's how things happen in this life... in this life
for the truth... for the truth
you have to fight... you have to fight.
Hey listen
honestly you have to admit
that in life, if you don't progress deep, you can go
the one who wants
the one who can't
prevails with what they have
until the day comes... when
they have a problem, there's no one to lend a hand
this is not a tale, my friend, because it has happened to me
they treat you like a tyrant
if you don't grease their palm
if you have money, no problem, you're already their brother
but here I am fighting to stay strong
and not give up
until my body stops me
I thank God for giving me a humble family
I say it from the heart and for listening to me
but here I am fighting to stay strong
and not give up
until my body stops me
I thank God for giving me a humble family
I say it from the heart and for listening to me.
Chorus
That's how things happen in this life... in this life
you have to fight... you have to fight
for the truth... for the truth, for the truth
that's how things happen in this life... in this life
for the truth... for the truth
you have to fight... you have to fight
My God grant my requests now
I want to achieve my dreams
my missions
I've been through a lot, I know how to be poor
I promise I won't change even if they crush me
you're fair, I know, just listen to me
I haven't forgotten that you exist and I will fear you for life
because you're the one who gives, takes, and decides the hour and the day
it's not just about being an early riser
being firm puts your feet to be a fighter
like me, who have fought to move forward
and not let the abuser win
I thank you for letting me keep dreaming
and I will continue without rest until I can achieve it
I will continue with the passion to keep trying
with faith I won't give up because I'm clear about it that's why...
Chorus
That's how things happen in this life... in this life
you have to fight... you have to fight
for the truth... for the truth, for the truth
that's how things happen in this life... in this life
for the truth... for the truth
you have to fight... you have to fight.
We continue in the fight
and as soldiers we must march by His side
it's not easy to belong to God's crew
but the reward
the reward that awaits us...
get ready.
