Milagre da Flecha

It was late at night
Tired from the journey
I was heading home

When out of the dark
I was pushed against the wall
A thief came to rob me

With a gun to my neck
I tried to explain to the guy
I have a kid to raise

I'm the breadwinner
Take everything, humiliate me
But don’t you dare kill me

Hail Mary, Hallelujah
Hail Mary

But the man, heartless
A slave to evil
Started to mistreat me

To see if I was scared
Before he pulled the trigger
He told me to pray

I had never prayed
I who was all sin
I begged for salvation

I lifted my thoughts
And in that moment
I found out what faith is

Hail Mary, Hallelujah
Hail Mary

A bright light appeared
My vision went dark
And the thug passed out

And died, no way out
With an arrow in his chest
Not knowing who shot him

In that moment, we scream
Yell, cry, and believe
That the miracle happened

Kneeling on the sidewalk
I asked with a tired voice
Who was it that helped me?

Hail Mary, Hallelujah
Hail Mary

It was dawning
Joy warming me up
When I entered the cathedral

Every saint I saw
I thanked again
And swore to be loyal

Look at the saint passing by
Don’t touch that image
The sacristan warned me

Because no one explained
An arrow that was missing
From the statue of Saint Sebastian

Hail Mary, Hallelujah
Hail Mary
