O Peregrino
Vitinho Campos (PAE)
The Pilgrim
Love explained everything to me
That a smile can change the world
Amidst wars and darkness
Young one, if you want
You’ll set the world on fire
Kid, little dude
Father Karol
Monsignor Wojtyla
To share a bit about my life
I talk about my wounds
Wars, deaths, and tragedies, I’ve seen it all
I chose to live for Jesus
It’s tough, I know
In a world where everything pointed to evil
I chose the priesthood for myself
Amidst wars and wickedness
I just want love, I just want freedom
In times of persecution against the church
I found myself lost and without family
That’s when I found the love of Mary
And became her slave for all my life
Love explained everything to me
That a smile can change the world
Amidst wars and darkness
Young one, if you want
You’ll set the world on fire
Love explained everything to me
That a smile can change the world
Amidst wars and darkness
Those who love deeply are friends of God
They become targets for the world
They tried to kill me
But it was just a scare
They chased me and heard every word I said
From hearing so much, my heart opened up
No pope has stepped on as many lands
No man has stopped as many wars
With a life dedicated to the divine
They call me the pilgrim
Evil will never defeat the church
Our flag will never be red
Saint Padre Pio prophesied I’d be pope
And in '99, I beatified him myself
Love explained everything to me
That a smile can change the world
Amidst wars and darkness
Young one, if you want
You’ll set the world on fire
Young one, if you want
You’ll set the world on fire
