De Volta Para o Altar

Tired soul
Heart beats strongly in the chest
My faith says pray a little more
Reason says there's no way
Where are the friends I have
And crying I question myself
In my room it's just me and the guitar
And the tears, bathing my face

The more I pray, everything is silent
Even so, Lord
I won't back down
Because I believe you will come
To meet me
God, don't let this trial kill me

Break this silence
Come to me
Forgive my mistakes
For I am imperfect
I want to hear your voice again
And tell you my secrets

If it's necessary for me to be born again
You can break me and
Remake as you wish
Your presence is all I desire, for I don't want to be the same
Lord, to hear your voice I kneel

Who told you I'm not listening
In the silence, son, I didn't abandon you
All the time I was watching you
You didn't die, son, because I didn't let you
I allow the trial with purpose
And to you, son, I will reveal
I wasn't your priority anymore
So I kept silent for you to call me

In the silence I work, in the silence I listen to you
In the silence I teach you, putting you back on track
This is not abandonment, nor is it contempt
I'm just teaching you to review your concepts
Silence is necessary and so is the desert
I tested you because I love you, I do everything for your good
Son, sometimes, it's necessary to silence my voice
Only by missing me I bring you back to the altar

Lord, I didn't understand, but now I do
Son, I already knew this
I know my silence hurts
Father forgive my mistakes
Son, you are forgiven
Stop lamenting and receive my embrace
Father, I know I don't deserve
So much love and care
For I am fragile, incapable
Limited human being
I no longer want to be the same
Father, I love you too much
So stay in my presence, son, and never leave again
So stay in my presence, son, and never leave again

My son
