Cicatrizes (part. Irmão Lázaro)

This sound of the siren
Makes me remember that day back then
Where by instinct
I didn’t want to but made a lot of people cry
A lot of people screaming around in outrage
Asking for divine justice
And the family saying: What now?
The uniformed men take me away in their fancy car
Thousands reach their destination in an instant
They open the door, pull me out
Then take me inside
Another staff member wipes my memory and I can’t recall
I just remember I’m alone
In a parallel world
From then to now I feel worse and worse, I won’t deny
My life is marked by everyone and forever
And this mark says I can’t be happy again
I feel despised
Sometimes, I see myself as a monster
But it’s all consequences
Of past actions, and that’s that
No job ever again, marriage, never
But regretting what I did? No! I’m at peace

Oh, these are the scars of life that cause pain
Everyone looks at me, no one noticed
I don’t care what they think of me
They’re just scars
Oh, these are the scars of life that cause pain

Everyone looks at me, no one noticed
I don’t care what they think of me
They’re just scars
That night we got a call
About a tense situation, nothing easy
We prepped the vehicle
Headed to the scene
Arriving there we found
A massive fire
The flames had spread, everyone was worried
We isolated the area, but it was already taken over
And suddenly out comes
A boy screaming
Protecting his siblings
The three-year-old and the five-year-old
It was incredible, his siblings unharmed
What courage from the oldest, what a plausible act
It was a miracle
Because I didn’t even believe it
You know, in a serious accident like that, no one survives
And the worry afterward was just for the oldest
What a pity, his situation, of the three, was the worst
And burns covering 70% of his body
We arrived at the ER with him almost dead

Oh, these are the scars of life that cause pain
Everyone looks at me, no one noticed
I don’t care what they think of me
They’re just scars
Oh, these are the scars of life that cause pain

Everyone looks at me, no one noticed
I don’t care what they think of me
They’re just scars
What a sad day that was
And since then, I feel guilty
I rushed out to buy bread, a bit worried
In a hurry, then I came back
I saw, but couldn’t believe
My kids weren’t
The way I left them
I couldn’t get in
The fire consumed everything
On the sidewalk, I pulled the faith I have
In the savior of the world
And like magic, I had such a beautiful vision
My oldest saving my whole family
Everything I had
What I have, are my diamonds
And to me, the oldest is more beautiful now than before
And the scar that covers his whole face
Today is the mark of deliverance, and it wasn’t little
People look on the street and ignore without knowing
The story of a young man stronger than the heroes on TV
Don’t judge without knowing
It happened to him, but think
It could be you!

Oh, these are the scars of life that cause pain
Everyone looks at me, no one noticed
I don’t care what they think of me
They’re just scars
Oh, these are the scars of life that cause pain

Everyone looks at me, no one noticed
I don’t care what they think of me
They’re just scars, oh
They look, no one noticed
I don’t care
They’re just scars

Oh, these are the scars of life that cause pain
Everyone looks at me, no one noticed
I don’t even care what they think of me
They’re just scars
