Abraço de Pai

Father's Embrace
Walmir Alencar
(Album 'IMAGE AND LIKENESS')

How much I waited!
Anxiously wanted to see you
And tell you what's in me
I couldn't contain myself anymore

I've decided, Lord
Today I want to tear apart my life
And show you my heart
Everything I have and am

And no matter what they tell me, I won't give up!
I know I am nothing, that's why I'm here
But I know that the love you have for me
Is much greater than mine, I'm a drop in the ocean

How long you also waited for me, Lord
In the afternoons, you found longing in my place
But when you saw me coming back from afar
You leaped for joy and ran to meet me

You didn't ask me where I had been
Of the goods I spent, nothing was left
But looking into my eyes, you only loved me
And as you kissed me, you embraced me like a father
