Aline Barros - Pai Presente Lyrics
Lyrics
Filho, feche os olhos imagine eu aqui do céu
Cantando pra você
Enquanto você dormia eu fiz essa canção
Só pra dizer
Se você pensa que eu não me importo
Você está errado
Você não sabe, mas quando fiz as estrelas eu
Imaginei você sentado na areia olhando pro céu
Eu pus meus braços nela pra você me enxergar
Você não sabe, mas eu fiz os passarinhos pra
Cantar em sua janela bem cedinho uma
Canção que fala que eu cuido de tudo
E sou teu Deus, teu pai
E quando nasce o Sol te vejo acordar
E quando a Lua vem te vejo adormecer
E não tem nenhum dia, hora ou segundo
Que eu não esteja lá, junto com você
Bem antes da tua mãe, eu já era teu pai
E nessa vida a dor é pra amadurecer
E não tem nenhum dia, hora ou segundo
Que eu não esteja lá, junto com você
Você não sabe, mas quando fiz as estrelas eu
Imaginei você sentado na areia olhando pro céu
Eu pus meus braços nela pra você me enxergar
Você não sabe, mas eu fiz os passarinhos pra
Cantar em sua janela bem cedinho uma
Canção que fala que eu cuido de tudo
E sou teu Deus, teu pai
E quando nasce o Sol te vejo acordar
E quando a Lua vem te vejo adormecer
E não tem nenhum dia, hora ou segundo
Que eu não esteja lá, junto com você
Bem antes da tua mãe, eu já era teu pai
E nessa vida a dor é pra amadurecer
E não tem nenhum dia, hora ou segundo
Que eu não esteja lá, junto com você
Eu sou um pai presente
Nunca estive ausente
Bem agora estou aqui ao lado teu
Eu sou um pai presente
Nunca estive ausente
Bem agora estou aqui ao lado teu
E quando nasce o Sol te vejo acordar
E quando a Lua vem te vejo adormecer
E não tem nenhum dia, hora ou segundo
Que eu não esteja lá, junto com você
Bem antes da tua mãe, eu já era teu pai
E nessa vida a dor é pra amadurecer
E não tem nenhum dia, hora ou segundo
Que eu não esteja lá, junto com você

Meaning & Inspiration
Aline Barros's "Pai Presente," released as a single on May 3, 2019, offers a profoundly comforting and deeply theological message delivered with the characteristic warmth and conviction of the renowned Brazilian gospel artist. The song is not merely a musical piece but a tender, divine conversation, portraying God's unwavering presence and fatherly love for humanity. From its inception, the lyrical narrative is crafted as if spoken by God Himself to a beloved child, assuring them of His constant care and involvement in every facet of their existence. The core message revolves around the concept of a Father who is always there, even when unseen or unfelt, a truth powerfully echoed throughout Scripture.
The song's profound meaning is rooted in the biblical understanding of God as our ultimate Father. The opening lines, inviting the listener to close their eyes and imagine God singing, resonate with passages that speak of God's joy over His people, such as Zephaniah 3:17, which states, "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He rejoices over you with gladness, he quiets you with his love, he exalts you with his singing." The imagery of God creating the stars with the listener in mind, and placing His "arms" within them to be seen, powerfully illustrates His intentionality and deep affection. This mirrors the creation accounts in Genesis, where God declared His work good, implying a purposeful design that includes humanity. Psalm 8:3-4 beautifully captures this sentiment: "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?" The song’s assertion that God made the birds to sing a specific song at the window, declaring His care and identity as God and Father, directly correlates with the biblical depiction of God providing for His creation and revealing Himself through it, as seen in Matthew 6:26, where Jesus encourages listening to the birds of the air, noting that His Father feeds them.
The cyclical imagery of observing the listener wake with the sun and sleep with the moon further emphasizes God's omnipresent gaze and care, a theme prevalent in verses like Psalm 121:8, "The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." The declaration that there isn't a single moment God is not present is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, directly referencing verses such as Hebrews 13:5, which promises, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." The profound statement, "Even before your mother, I was already your father," speaks to God's eternal nature and His covenantal relationship that predates earthly ties, a concept found in Ephesians 1:4-5: "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will." The acknowledgment that pain in life serves to mature the individual aligns with biblical teachings on suffering as a refining process, as described in Romans 5:3-5: "...we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." The repeated affirmation, "I am a present Father, I have never been absent," is the song's ultimate reassurance, a testament to God's faithfulness and constant availability. It invites believers to rest in the certainty of His love and presence, not as an abstract concept, but as a tangible reality that underpins every aspect of their journey.
