Pra Que Eu Saiba Perdoar
Padre Zezinho
So That I Can Learn to Forgive
To not hurt anyone
I came to look for you
Someone hurt me
And I couldn't even cry
Listen to me, my Lord
Listen to my story
Through a thousand paths and smiling
I tried to understand
I didn't want to hurt any brother
I only thought of helping
But there were those who didn't understand
And destroyed what I built
And uprooted what I planted
Challenging my peace
After hearing so much about You
I wanted to do as I learned
I wanted to love without distinction
I made myself a brother to all
But there were those who didn't understand
And said things I didn't do
I'm afraid of forgetting
Of forgetting that I am happy
I come here to ask for forgiveness
If by chance I deserved
To suffer such ingratitude
When I always sought to help
But it was me who didn't understand
Who forgot who Jesus was
Who did a greater good than mine
And yet died on the cross
