Além (Em Meio à Multidão)
Laura Souguellis
Beyond (In the Midst of the Crowd)
In the midst of the crowd
Your eyes found me
And you saw me
For who I really am
I am not what
Life has made me
And I know that you
See something superior in me
Beyond the pains
Beyond the flaws of the past
Beyond the mistakes
Of what has been marked
Yes, you saw me beyond
Yes, you saw me beyond
In the midst of my pain
Your arms cradled me
And I tasted and saw
How good you are
I am not what
I believed for so long
Because you say
Something superior about me
Beyond the pains
Beyond the flaws of the past
Beyond the mistakes
Of what has been marked
Yes, you saw me beyond
Yes, you saw me beyond
Beyond what I have been
Beyond what I have done
You do not see as man sees
You do not judge as man judges
You do not condemn, you forget the errors
Because of forgiveness and grace
Your eyes see beyond
With compassion
You see beyond
You do not see as man sees
You do not judge as man judges
You do not condemn
Merciful, kind
You see beyond, my flaws
You see beyond, my bad habits
You see beyond, the marks of the past
Because you do not see, as man sees
Yes, you see me beyond
Beyond the guilt, the shame
Your love carries me, your perspective
What you see in me liberates me
And the judgments fall to the ground
And the lies go away
Because you saw in me
What no one else saw
When they judged me, condemned me
You saw beyond
You saw virtue in me
You saw value when no one else did
And still see, beyond
Where man does not see
With such small judgments
You have the whole vision
Of who I am, of who I will be
You see beyond
I now receive your identity
Your perspective
Your judgment
I receive what you say
What you say, not what man says
Not the wrong judgments
Not the praises
I am who you
Say I am, no more, no less
Oh father, you see me beyond
You see me beyond
The marks of the past
Of what was done against me
Or what I did to others
You erased my past
You see beyond
Thank you Lord
For restoring my vision
In my own story
You do not see with eyes of tragedy
You do not see with eyes of condemnation
You do not condemn, you build up
With love you rewrite my story
Because your eyes are full of love
You see the next scene
Climbing the mountain and when I look back
And see that you changed everything
Because you saw me with eyes of mercy
And compassion you see me
Beyond the pains
Beyond the flaws of the past
Beyond the mistakes
Of what has been marked
Yes, you saw me beyond
Yes, you saw me beyond
