Mil Cairão

Lord God, tonight I didn't want to ask for anything
Because I've asked so much, and so much has been given to me
Health to run and protection through the streets
I was invisible to every ill-intentioned soul
But in this early morning, I don't feel well
Everyone is asleep and I need to talk to someone
This silence throws me off track, and no one better
Than the father to listen to the son's outburst
Big deal, maybe the blame for this is mine
I know the Lord always intervenes to keep me in line
So I don't become rubble in the dumpster
But sometimes it weighs on me, and this line becomes a tightrope
Like a snake crawling, the world wants me this way
And here, let every dog lick itself
Damn, it's hard this way
I look so much outside and I don't see my own flaw

A sinner alone, carries the pain alone
Human also called a dreamer
But the harvest comes later
I take one step for each right
And for every mistake it seems like I go back two, oh!

I'm not better than anyone, no
I don't deserve more than anyone, no
I'm just keeping my steps on the ground
All I ask for tonight is forgiveness
Because a thousand will fall, a thousand will fall, a thousand
But I will not be hit
A thousand will fall, a thousand will fall, a thousand
But I will not be hit

There was that time I almost drowned
And the Lord pulled me out when I had already given up
I deserved a scolding, I was stupid
When I stole rings and a chain at the tent
Just to show off to my friends
Conceited kid, had no idea of the danger
Or that other time when I was almost robbed
And instead what I got was company to the market
I got the message
I don't know what I did to be so well taken care of
I was all wrong, upset about changing my steps
Almost falling to the other side
But I know someone was carrying me in their arms
They offered me crime, but I refused
They offered me flour, but I refused
If it was my will, I don't know
I just know that in the valley of shadow and death I closed my eyes and passed through
I just have to thank for each day
And for making me bigger than any problem
Some don't believe in you, after all
I believe because I know that the Lord also believes in me

A sinner alone, carries the pain alone
Human also called a dreamer
But the harvest comes later
I take one step for each right
And for every mistake it seems like I go back two, oh!

I'm not better than anyone, no
I don't deserve more than anyone, no
I'm just keeping my steps on the ground
All I ask for tonight is forgiveness
Because a thousand will fall, a thousand will fall, a thousand
But I will not be hit
A thousand will fall, a thousand will fall, a thousand
But I will not be hit
