Não Posso Mais
Isaac Nascimento
I Can't Take It Anymore
I can't lie anymore about how I am
I can't pretend my pain
I can't stand having to say everything is fine when it's not
I want to breathe your glory, I want to achieve my victory
I want to be a miracle in your hands, feel your embrace, your compassion
They've told me I won't make it
They've told me to stop, but I refuse to believe
That alone in this war I will fight
So I am praying to you
I surrender all my afflictions to you, rescue my soul from sadness
Renew my faith before I perish
My soul today wants to see you, my test
Doesn't want to allow it, but from this prayer I won't
Rise until I feel your glory
I know hours may pass, the dawn
May break, but when I open my eyes here
You will write a new story
And even if the test comes, whatever it may be, evil may try to silence me
I know that through your omnipotence, a new hymn of victory I will sing
And God commanded to sing that he is with you, you don't need
To feel alone because your victory is already guaranteed
And all promises will be fulfilled
God said that your time is not
His
God said it will be in his time because what he does
Is so perfect, it will be recognized by the whole world
Blessed you will be on Mount Gerizim if your soul turns to me
Because just as I did with Job
In your life, brother, I will restore
Your house will feel my hand, the one
Who is mine I do not forsake, the world
May try to take away, but back I bring for liberation
I chose you to win, I separated you
For a great work, so listen to this song that brought your victory
