Esperança

What a miserable man I am, what I have become
I beg for the bread that was left over and that was mine
In disappointment hope is born
And I live in the present regardless of what happened

Because everything has changed
And in Christ I am more than I am
Behind I leave the man I was
And the houses I built far from You
If everything has changed I open the sails of the ship
In the hope that in the morning
I will see the port where I will find you
The port where I will find you

Like a refugee leaving his country
Running away through the night unable to sleep
Trusting in the promise that tears take over the night
But soon the day comes, and shouts of joy will echo!

If the rain catches me and the boat capsizes
May I wake up on solid ground there
