Confissão (feat. Fernanda Bastos)

[Fernanda Bastos]
My father, I'm tired of living far from you
And how many times I thought about giving up
Sometimes I try to improve
The fault is mine
For making mistakes and not fixing them
Give me strength to get better
Give me strength to get better

My father, I'm tired of living far from you
And how many times I thought about giving up
Sometimes I try to improve
The fault is mine
For making mistakes and not fixing them
Give me strength to get better
Give me strength to get better

[Menorah]
How many times before sinning did I forget about you
How many times did I ask for forgiveness without repenting
How many times
I shed tears without wanting to cry
Remorse was greater than the will to confess

How many times with my mouth
I declared your name
But my heart was always far from you
How many times I wanted to satisfy my flesh
How many times I was a lie and betrayed the truth

And yet the Lord never stopped loving me
I regret everything I am, oh my Lord
And take me back to the beginning, please
To the first love
Where it all began

And how many times hell stole my will to seek
How many times my mind didn't stop accusing me
So many times, there are so many I can't calculate
I lost count of how many times you forgave me

Do not forgive tattered excuses
But confessed sins
With a torn heart
My God, my God
I am molded

My father, I'm tired of living far from you
And how many times I thought about giving up

The fault is mine
For making mistakes and not fixing them
Give me strength to get better
Give me strength to get better

[Fernanda Bastos]
Forgive me if I never truly loved you
Forgive me for pretending to be your other half
Forgive me
For not opening the door of my heart
For not letting you in and singing a song to me

He who confesses reaches mercy, you say
But my sins cause division between you and me
Repentance is a change of mind, not crying
I tear my heart, I have so many things to tell you

The good I want to do, I don't do
But the evil I don't want to do, I do
There are so many things I need to learn
Like sinning, asking for forgiveness, and returning to do
And how many times I deluded myself
Sin prevents me from changing my attitude
I can't get up
Despair hits
I'm tired of making mistakes and still remain in error

The problem is in me
I confess that I'm at the end
I need to get out of here
I can't stay like this anymore
I can't stay like this anymore

My father, I'm tired of living far from you
And how many times I thought about giving up
Sometimes I try to improve
The fault is mine
For making mistakes and not fixing them
Give me strength to get better
Give me strength to get better

[Menorah]
Multiply iniquity
Love is cooling down
Without prayer, without Bible, without anything, I keep slipping
Sliding into the deception of sin, I keep stumbling
Shitty life, remorse keeps masking me

And how many times I lay my head on my pillow
And see that my thoughts come, sinking me
The serpent of guilt bit me
The great warrior perished
I blame the devil
But I am the guilty one

I look into the depths of the pit and throw myself
Dirty, I try to get out
In the hour of pain I say oh God come and take me out of here
But before I didn't think, my reasoning was violated
My innocence was raped
My gifts were stolen

I enter through the door of fear
I find darkness and get lost
If I knew it would end up like this, I wouldn't have made the mistake
How many times I embrace sin and let go of the grace that reached me
Ingratitude is the seed of disobedience, that's all it generated

I want liberation
Listen to my confession
Don't erase my name from the book of life

Look into my heart, you know everything that goes on inside
My father, talk to me
I know you don't reject a repentant heart!
