Por que, Ó Pai?

In life we have to face the trial,
And the pain that torments is the same for all.
Still, I can't understand
When I see someone not suffering like me.
I then ask, oh Father.

Lord, I want to understand your plan.
Everything you reserve far beyond my eyes.
Within my heart you always are
I have trusted in your hands,
Still I ask:

Oh father, why, oh father? I face this trial
And the storm covers the sun. I ask, oh father.
Why, oh father? So many doubts come to me,
The mystery of existence. I ask, oh Father.
Although I can't understand,
In your hand I will always trust, oh trust.
I believe in you, oh father.
God knows when the prayer is sincere.
He does not allow a burden I cannot bear.
He sees all the faith within me
And knows there are questions still,
I want to understand.

Oh father, why, oh father? I face
This trial and the storm covers the sun
I ask, oh father.
Why, oh father? So many doubts come to me
The mystery of existence.
I ask, oh Father. Although I can't understand
In your hand I will always trust, oh trust.
I believe in you, oh father.
