O Filho Pródigo
Padre Zezinho
The Prodigal Son
Philosophy didn't bring me happiness
Explanation didn't explain what I did to you
I had everything around me
Health, peace, and so much love
And still, I didn't know how to be happy
My home is the Lord's house
My home is the Lord's house
I distanced myself because I thought it was my right
To use what was mine as I chose
I had everything around me
And God gave me his love
And still, my God, I didn't listen
My home is the Lord's house
My home is the Lord's house
I thought I knew everything and was unbelieving
I heard about my God and stayed silent
No, I wasn't a good Christian
For I made concessions to the world
And without noticing, I shamed God
My home is the Lord's house
My home is the Lord's house
Like the son who left in that story
Happiness far from him I didn't find
Philosophy didn't give me
That peace that comes from God
To my Lord now I will return
My home is the Lord's house
My home is the Lord's house
