Todos Devemos Rezar

Gildo de Freitas' song "Todos Devemos Rezar" is a poignant reflection on the state of the world and a call to return to spiritual practices. The lyrics draw heavily on biblical references, particularly the story of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood, to illustrate the moral and social decay observed in contemporary society. The song suggests that the world is facing a crisis similar to the one described in the Bible, where divine intervention through a flood was necessary to cleanse the earth of its sins.

The song opens with a sense of urgency, noting that the world seems to have little life left. This is based on sacred history, which warns that when the world shows certain troubling signs, it is time to pray to the omnipotent Father to prevent another catastrophic event like the flood. The lyrics highlight various societal issues, such as children committing crimes, marital separations, and the breakdown of family relationships, as indicators of moral decline. These are seen as warnings from the sacred texts that the end of the world could be near.

Freitas also touches on the weakening of nature itself, attributing it to humanity's failure to adhere to the Ten Commandments. He recounts the biblical story where only Noah's family and a pair of each animal were spared due to their good behavior. The song concludes with a somber reminder that when the floodwaters began to rise, even those who had never prayed before started to do so, but it was too late for redemption. This serves as a powerful message urging listeners to turn to prayer and moral rectitude before it's too late.
