Caquinho

Today I find myself without strength
The war came to bring me down
In prison again I am
I can't fight anymore
Oh, if only my Lord
Fulfill my wish here

But I understand, God in heaven
That there is time to smile and cry
And the time I'm spending
It is, perhaps, the one to cry
If I have to be away
And I won't win your hug
I will understand, until it comes
Get me out of this cell

And if I have patience
And like Job, I wait
I know I will still have
A little shard to scratch
From the ashes I will rise
In the new time I longed for
In it I will sing

But I understand, God in heaven
That there is time to smile and cry
And the time I'm spending
It is, perhaps, the one to cry
If I have to walk away
And I won't win your hug
I will understand, until it comes
Get me out of this cell

And if I have patience
And like Job, I wait
I know I will still have
A little shard to scratch
From the ashes I will rise
In the new time I longed for
In it I will sing
