No Dia em Que Eu Saí de Casa
Joel Marques e Randall
On the Day I Left Home
On the day I left home
My mother said come here
She ran her hand through my hair
Looked into my eyes and began to speak
Wherever you go, I'll follow
With my thoughts always where you are
In my prayers, I'll ask God
to illuminate your steps
I know she never understood
My reasons for leaving there
But she knows that after growing up
A child becomes a bird and wants to fly
I really wanted to stay there
But destiny wanted to contradict me
And the look of my mother at the door
I left her crying, blessing me
On that day, my mother
Told me about the world as it is
It seemed like she knew
Every stone I would step on
And always by my father's side
She never left the small town
She said to me, my son, go with God
That this whole world is yours
I know she never understood
My reasons for leaving there
But she knows that after growing up
A child becomes a bird and wants to fly
I really wanted to stay there
But destiny wanted to contradict me
And the look of my mother at the door
I left her crying, blessing me
And the look of my mother at the door
I left her crying, blessing me
And the look of my mother at the door
I left her crying, blessing me
