I'm Ready
Rodrigo Amarante Lyrics

You say we're the chosen ones
You claim that we are special and have been given a unique opportunity.

And claim it's our only chance
You insist that this is our one and only opportunity.

You take with you my son
You have taken my child away from me.

But you, where have you gone?
But now you are nowhere to be found.

The flag you shipped him home in Is fading
The symbol of my son's sacrifice is beginning to lose its meaning and importance.

Now say something I don't know
Please tell me something new or insightful rather than repeating the same platitudes.

And spare me the honor play
Please do not try to use my son's sacrifice to elevate your own status or agenda.

Said and done
Though you have said your piece, the situation is far from resolved.

Short of some
We are lacking something necessary for success.

Somebody else's son Fills in
Someone else's child will have to take my son's place in the fight.

I'm ready I'm ready for the end You know why I'm ready Well it never goes away It turns out
I am prepared for the worst possible outcome, and I have come to realize that this trauma will never truly leave me.

The mill counts a minute pass
Time drags on while we wait for something to happen.

The sill where the widows wait
We wait anxiously for news of our loved ones at home.

It's where it all begun His fort command his gun Oh God what have I done For him?
This is where my son's journey began, with his weapons and orders. I cannot help but question if I did everything I could to protect him.

Quem na rua se perde Encontra o que pede Acerta o que mede E conta até errar Que o erro é onde a sorte está Não queira ver
Those who wander may find what they were looking for, measure their success, and even intentionally make mistakes to find good fortune. However, I do not wish to believe that my son's death was simply a stroke of luck.
