Filho Pródigo
Mattos Nascimento
Prodigal Son
I was raised with my Father, so loving
I had everything, peace, love, it was too much
But one day, without thinking, I fell into the world
The enemy deceived me so cunningly
I took all my share of the inheritance
My Father looking at me, so sad, crying
Saying: My beloved son is leaving
And I pray for the day he returns
I will rise and say to my Father
I have sinned against You, I don't deserve to live
I am not worthy to be called Your son
Forgive me
But the love my Father has for me
Is much greater than all I have done
Finding me, He embraced me, forgave me
Today I am happy
In the world, I thought I had friends
I spent everything, only wanted my pleasure
Even the pigs had their food
And I, with nothing, had nothing to eat
If I return, maybe my Father won't accept me
But I will try, maybe He forgave me
As I approached my house, still far away
My Father, joyful, came running, embraced me
I will rise and say to my Father
I have sinned against You, I don't deserve to live
I am not worthy to be called Your son, my Father
Forgive me
But the love my Father has for me
Is much greater than all I have done
Finding me, He embraced me, forgave me
Today I am happy
Finding me, He embraced me, forgave me
Today I am happy
