Labirinto Lugar
Dhiego Shofar
Labyrinth Place
I got lost in the very steps I traced
I followed shadows that I myself created
Your voice was once a home, now it is distance
My heart became a room under surveillance
Error calls me by my name
And I answer like someone who is hungry
But not for bread
For illusion
I take two steps towards Your altar
But pride pulls me and makes me turn back
I feel You are far, but I know the deception is mine
I am the one who left the place that was Yours
Lord, find me in this labyrinth
My soul screams, but I am silent
If You still see me, extend Your hand to me
I am a prisoner of my own darkness
Take me back to the Place
Where I didn't have to hide from Your gaze
If there is still forgiveness for me
Let it find me where I am, here
Did heaven fall silent or did I refuse to listen?
Is it Your silence or my fleeing?
I got used to the distance and the error
I made the abyss my entire address
But deep down there is still a prayer
That sin has not silenced, nor disappointment
It rises weak, almost voiceless
But it still cries out for You within us
I tried to climb this dark well
With wounded hands and an impure heart
I fell trying to return to the beginning
But maybe this is Your sacrifice
That I recognize how much I need
Without masks, without justification
Just a dirty son saying: Father
Is there still time to bring me back?
Lord, find me in this labyrinth
Before I get lost in myself, I feel
That even in ruins, You come to get me
Because Your love never tires of loving me
Take me back to the Place
Where Your name is all I know how to speak
If there is still life in me
Let it return when I say
I am here, put Your love in me
