Olhos claros

It's been over twenty years
Since I was arrested and I'm paying
For a crime I committed

Green eyes with tenderness
Drove me crazy
And that's why I'm here

Someone out there is living
Counting minutes and hours
To see me free

I don't know why
That someone doesn't want to see me suffer anymore
And truly likes me

God heard my prayers
And answered me
With grace and wisdom
The child grew up

Sunday at the same time
A man with clear eyes
Comes to visit me

Wearing a tie and a groomed beard
Carrying hope in his perfect face
In his eyes

As if he were a friend
He stays here with me
And it feels good to see him stay

Looking at me for an hour
With teary eyes
He says he will set me free

God heard my prayers
And answered me
With grace and wisdom
The child grew up

One day at the same time
The man with clear eyes
Appeared again

He said: I came to get you
You will come with me
I am your lawyer

My mother told me
That one day you killed
Just because you loved too much

I am that child
Your son, your hope
And I came to set you free, my father

God heard my prayers
And answered me
With grace and wisdom
The child grew up

Today I am free
But I confess, in truth
I still feel imprisoned

In memories of the past
I am still chained
And imprisoned by fear

The man with clear eyes
Who, with rare thoughts
Took me out of this prison

Had a sparkle in his eyes
This man is the son
I prayed for

God heard my prayers
And answered me
With grace and wisdom
The child grew up

God heard my prayers
And answered me
With grace and wisdom
The child grew up

God heard my prayers
And answered me
With grace and wisdom
The child grew up
