Temente Teimoso
Paulo André
Stubborn Fearful
When I was a little boy, tough skin
Slingshot around my neck
My instinct was bad
When I played with friends
Or with my siblings
Marbles and spinning top
My limit was the backyard
I knew I couldn't leave
But my stubbornness took me out of the ordinary
I would insist and then return regretful
Straight to punishment
And once again, I got in trouble
Stubborn and fearful I was
Terrible, brave, a beast
I feared and insisted, insisted and feared
That's how I was
I would lie down insisting, dream insisting
And when I woke up
I would insist again
I was a fearful, a stubborn, a beast
Kneeling, trapped in the guilt's prison
Having to apologize
Because I insisted again
My father would come and start advising
My son, stop insisting
That's how he always did
But my mother had a different instinct
She would suddenly shout
What did you do?
And I would cry, trying to explain
Mom, come forgive me
I insisted again
Stubborn and fearful I was
Terrible, brave, a beast
I feared and insisted, insisted and feared
That's how I was
I would lie down insisting, dream insisting
And when I woke up
I would insist again
I was a fearful, a stubborn, a beast
In God's law, there is indeed, equally
A stubborn fearful
Already tired of suffering
Remember that the one who forgives is Jesus
He forgave the thief on the cross
And today forgives you
Stubborn and fearful I was
Terrible, brave, a beast
I feared and insisted, insisted and feared
That's how I was
I would lie down insisting, dream insisting
And when I woke up
I would insist again
I was a fearful, a stubborn, a beast
Stubborn fearful I was
Terrible, brave, a beast
I feared and insisted, insisted and feared
That's how I was
I would lie down insisting, dream insisting
And when I woke up
I would insist again
I was a fearful, a stubborn, a beast
