Child

Raquel Paixão

Compositor: Raquel Paixão

If I could choose to be
That innocent and pure child
Would I go there and come back
To the new me

If I could stay a while
Would I feel pain or compassion
If I could change the way things passed
Over me

Silences in all my scars
Could I translate everything into music?
Because I can’t change everything
But I can make you feel the love that
Overflows me

I fought against everything
That tried to erase me
All of the purpose that came in my essence
Confess that I made mistakes
Feeling too much seems to be worst
Trying to hold the ends of this journey
Could I stay a child
Could I stay a while
Thinking of the wasted time
Be my overcoming power

How fast that I thread my way
That innocent and pure child
Still hiding in somewhere and making hard
Decisions

For love through pain here I stand
Living my redemption
It’s not just to survive we’re here
Can’t you see it?

My scars have made my strength
So I can make you feel the love that
Overflows me

I fought against everything
That tried to erase me
All of the purpose that came in my essence
Confess that I made mistakes

Feeling too much seems to be worst
Trying to hold the ends of this journey

If I could loose now all my scars
Would I go and reach so far?
I would leave that child behind
Do I really wanna do that?

I wanna hold that love inside
Don’t wanna push burden aside
Would my child be proud of me now

I fought against everything
That tried to erase me
All of the purpose that came in my essence
Confess that I made mistakes
Feeling too much seemed to be worst
Trying to hold the ends of this journey
Could you stay a child
Could you stay a while
Thinking of the wasted time
Be my overcoming power
