Carta pra Deus

Lord, I know I am small and flawed
So, help me to walk
I know the road is narrow
And it won't be easy, but I'll keep walking
Oh, Father, tell me that this crying won't last and tomorrow it will pass
I can't die so young

But the times I look at myself in the mirror
And see, I'm not that good boy anymore
Oh, how I miss
When evil was playing cops and robbers
Climbing walls, jumping houses
And always wanting to be the villain
I don't understand this crazy world
Inequality, hatred, and ingratitude
I only ask for a heart like yours, my master
Who knows how to love, forgive, crystal clear like water, pure and transparent
Thy will be done
But have mercy, if it's reckless
It's just that, sometimes, life forces us to choose paths we don't understand
I always heard my mother say: Watch out, this world is cruel, I didn't know
I'm growing up and learning that you can't even trust the shadows

Oh, Father, teach me to walk, Father, guide me
For I am weak without your company
Make me strong like David, who defeated Goliath
And don't let my plans or dreams die, the goal of life
Suffering causes damage, heal all wounds
Make the crying last one night, let joy prevail during the day
Keeping away from bad energies
Deliver all the outskirts
Surviving in cowardice, massacres, innocent lives lost
But still believing in the improvement they preach in the Senate, in Brasilia
How many times, because of my color, was I the reason for what embarrassed me?
And, the mind is strong, the flesh is weak
I've faced the end of my life

But I know you know me so well, so well
But I know you know me so well, so well, like no one else
Lord, I know I am small and flawed
So, help me to walk
I know the road is narrow
And it won't be easy, but I'll keep walking
Oh, Father, tell me that this crying won't last and tomorrow it will pass
I can't die so young
