Cada Día

Mom
I know you were praying for me last night
I could feel it, mother
I know, I know

Every day, I pray for you
(Thank you mom, thank you)
So you can come to the path

Last night they shot at us again, mom
By surprise, mother, suddenly

They wanted to take our block, mom
Where I've been for a while
Selling since I was a child
And from which I support the whole family

The younger ones, the new ones, the ones coming up
Are the ones who want our spot
They don't care what they have to do
Or lose their lives
Or how many of them I'll take with me

I know you don't like what I'm saying today
That you pray to God to get me out of this
And you've wished for God to take you first
So you don't see the day something might happen to me

Don't worry, mom
I know God is calling me
When I see you crying
You know, it breaks my heart

But the street is calling me, waiting for me
I have to show those kids
Who the daddy of this is
And how to respect it

Every day, I pray for you
I thank you, mom
So you can come to the path
I know God is giving me a chance

Every day, I pray for you
I know, I know, yeah
So you can come to the path

No, no, no
Don't block the door
Let me go outside
Because right now the fire is running through my veins
They told me where they are
And I'll find them
And surely, I'll make them fly

I know how you suffered with the death of my brother
I loved him too, I was also frustrated
Moving forward, you know how much it has cost
Although I know I'm on the wrong path

Why did dad abandon us? Why did he leave us?
If you were a good wife, why did he cheat on you?
He left a mother with two children
A destroyed home
Without money or destiny

And I want to give you what you've never had
The house you dreamed of, what you've always wanted
I know, for you, it's not the most important
You prefer that I stay away from this life
That would be, for you, the greatest gift

Every day, I pray for you
I know, I know
So you can come to the path
I know God is knocking on my door

Every day, I pray for you
He's calling me, he's calling me
So you can come to the path
Incredible

Now I'm at the club
Where those guys are
And I can't believe what my eyes have seen
The one in the red shirt was the one who killed my brother
I don't know if it was God or the devil who sent him

I'm aiming at his head with my gun
But I hear a voice telling me: Don't do it
Vengeance is mine, I am the one who pays
I am the Lord your mother calls

I fall to my knees and now I don't know what to do
Tears come out, I can't contain them
The voice keeps talking to me
There's no one by my side
I'm going crazy
Why am I crying?

Now I understand what forgiveness is
What Jesus Christ did when he died for me
I forgive my father for abandoning me
I forgive my friends who betrayed me
Today I forgive this boy for killing my brother

Every day, I pray for you
Thank you, mom, ah-oh
So you can come to the path
Now I know what forgiveness is, mom

Every day, I pray for you, oh-oh-oh
So you can come to the path
Thank you, mom, oh-oh

Every day, I pray for you, oh-oh-oh
So you can come to the path
