IMPERFEITO

IMPERFECT

Once upon a time
Me, inside the house, tired of the same old thing
And it happened
That time I wanted to leave
Everything outside was alluringly bright
And I ran away

Beyond the gates, I dreamed
Of the world, I was king
I could write something new using only my hands
The dreams I longed for, the things I desired
What I touched, reached, possessed, I surrendered to the illusion
But I know

That I got lost
Trying to find myself
It was so deep that even the deepest well has no more room for You
I perceived
I gained nothing (I know)
Those I loved, I lost, I let go of, I left behind

But if I try (if I try)
If I come back (if I come back)
Is there still room available?
Can I resume driving?

After the gates, I saw the mistake I had made
What I've achieved I can see slipping through my fingers
The walls under construction, for me, were protection
I sought freedom, I found danger, today I am alone
Today I am alone

I'm going back home, that's the solution
I will walk, I will run towards You
I'm tired of this odyssey driven by pride and presumption
In an instant, I see the Father approaching
I no longer know if forgiveness is possible, but I need to try
I throw myself at His feet and begin to cry out

I don't even know how I'm going to say this
I don't know if you'll accept me
Father, I humble myself, I become Your servant, let me return

That's when He reached me
Running, he hugged me
I was a different person, but His love hasn't changed
He told me he forgave me
It has waited for me for a long time
"He made himself my shelter," the Father said to all
My son returned
My son returned

I don't know how far away or lost you are, but I know
He is waiting for you
I know that even if I lack strength and am far away, I can feel it
The Father of love finds you
A new life, at last
