Quebrando Protocolo

João Netto's song "Quebrando Protocolo" delves into the biblical story of Daniel, a figure known for his unwavering faith and devotion to God. The lyrics recount the plot against Daniel by his adversaries, who, out of jealousy and malice, devised a law to prevent him from praying to his God. Despite the threat of being thrown into a den of lions, Daniel continued his prayers, demonstrating his steadfast faith and trust in divine protection.

The song highlights the miraculous intervention of God, who sends an angel to shut the mouths of the lions, saving Daniel from certain death. This act of divine intervention serves as a powerful metaphor for the protection and deliverance that faith can bring. The repeated refrain, "Eu estou fechando hoje a boca do leão" (I am closing the lion's mouth today), emphasizes the theme of divine protection and the breaking of earthly protocols by a higher power.

João Netto's lyrics also extend the story's message to contemporary struggles, suggesting that prayer and faith can bring about miraculous changes in various aspects of life, from personal dilemmas to health crises. The song reassures listeners that no matter the challenges they face, divine intervention is possible, and faith can lead to overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The powerful imagery and repetition in the lyrics reinforce the message of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of faith.
