by Maid Čorbić

I pray to Jesus, the very meaning of life.
Looking forward to some new day
which I experienced after a hard fall
Out of love, I became so tired.

faith in Jesus himself and in God
I keep the cross with me in my pocket.
and I do not allow evil energy.
to reappear in my hands

I know I’m not perfect sometimes.
but I think I have been in faith for a time. 
and to help her survive this fear
from the rejection of people in this era

I asked the Pope where my happiness was.
and he said he was far away.
but I left the church that cold January.
and started looking for where I came from

I consider myself a hero in life.
but I didn't know, and my church was dreaming
just unhappy people like me
because I believe in something even stronger

My faith is stronger than anything.
and I found myself the day I realized
that all I wanted was hope
not to be alone in this world

and aware that time flies
that my destiny passes slowly
I will find myself. I just wonder if faith...
Will he find you again soon?
