O Segredo da Madrugada

I saw when you got up
I saw when you stretched
And knelt down
I already knew what you were going to do
And I was so happy

I rejoiced just knowing that amidst so much sleep you chose me
I found it so funny when you accidentally yawned
And asked me
Sorry Father, the day was tough and I'm too tired
I found it so beautiful

I wanted you to know
That even when you can't
Express in words what you feel
That I search your thoughts
I know everything that goes on inside your heart, every intention I've already deciphered

Just by seeing you on your knees
I stop everything up here in heaven
Just by knowing you're going to talk to me
I incline my ears, give you attention

But when I see you broken
Your wet face, I can't resist
Because a child's cry in the early hours
Hits my heart directly
I will honor every dawn you prayed
Every time you knelt beside the bed to talk to me
I will reward
Every tear you shed
Every time you endured fatigue
Just to talk to me

The whole city sleeping and I'm listening to you
Because I love those who in the early hours
Love being with me

Just by seeing you on your knees
I stop everything up here in heaven
Just by knowing you're going to talk to me
I incline my ears, give you attention
But when I see you broken
And your wet face, I can't resist
Because a child's cry in the early hours
Hits my heart directly

I will honor every dawn you prayed
Every time you knelt beside the bed to talk to me
I will reward
Every tear you shed
Every time you endured fatigue
Just to talk to me

The whole city sleeping and I'm listening to you
Because I love those who in the early hours
Love being with me
I love
Just you and me and the city sleeping
