Soldado Machucado

In the midst of the journey, sometimes fatigue hits hard
After so much effort, it’s tough to keep going far
The excuse for everything ending
Are life’s situations that we just couldn’t bear

And so, feeling a bit awkward, with tears in my eyes
And as time passes, it speaks to me, no lies
My God, I never wanted to reach this end
But I’m letting it all go, have mercy, my friend

Another empty place, lost yet another wounded brother
Losing salvation, the world’s so cold, like no other
Once again, it took a chosen believer, servant of the Lord

But falling is always human, rising comes from the Lord
Time keeps passing, and the strength of love brings the brother back
Crying, repentant, entering through the door, sees he’s not forgotten

And the pastor welcomes the sheep he planted, saying this
Don’t cry, receive our love, it’s a bliss
And the brothers, crying, say a prayer
Thanking God for the brother’s return, showing they care

Back home to peace and communion
Care to heal the pain and the loneliness, a warm embrace from Christ the Savior
The son found rest in the arms of the Lord

The son found rest in the arms of the Lord
Come back soon
My son, my son
