Carta de Un Padre (part. Onell Díaz)

Yeah, yeah
Yeah (my son)

Sorry that I couldn't raise you, sorry for the times you called me
I could never answer, sorry
My son, my intention was not to fail you, I was just ignorant
As a father, I failed, I couldn't take care of you

And I missed all your stages, your first steps
Sorry I wasn't there to advise you on your first hit
This affects me in the long run, I could never give you a hug
And today I just seek your forgiveness, a hug

I want to look you in the eyes and tell you: Son
I love you with my life even though my life never told you
I know it hurt, I know it wounded you
The times you waited for me, but daddy didn't come

Forgive me for not being at your graduations
For not teaching you to make good decisions
Now I write to you because I have a thousand reasons
To recover you, never disappoint you again

Forgive me for never understanding
How important it was to you
Sorry for not being there
And never being there for you

Forgive me for never understanding
How important it was to you
Sorry for not being there
And never being there for you

Forgive me
Forgive me, yeah

I know I have no excuse, I abandoned my position
I drown in the situation and lost direction in my life
I didn't think about how important our relationship was
But I come to tell you that God transformed my heart

And I met Jesus and only he could fill me
And he showed me that to love you, I had to love myself
I didn't know what forgiveness was and he came to forgive me
I didn't know what love was, but he came to teach me

I ask for your forgiveness, even if it doesn't make sense
I couldn't give you what I hadn't had
I'll be here to love you

Forgive me for never understanding
How important it was to you
Sorry for not being there
And never being there for you

Forgive me for never understanding
How important it was to you
Sorry for not being there
And never being there for you

Forgive me (forgive me)
Forgive me (forgive me) yeah
