Bless me Father, for I have sinned
There was an undeniable hunger, and I gave in
I know I should have been strong, I know it was not right
But the hunger was stronger, something I could not fight
Was it her beauty or her charisma I could not resist?
I realized, in the cave, it was her sweet, tender kiss
Even before the explosion, my feelings ran deep
Oh, God, I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I fell for her Lord, when I first saw her that day
But it wasn't meant to be, she was my brother's fiance
She saw me not as a priest, but as her best friend
She invaded my dreams, and the fantasies would not end
Mama was right, in a way I was under her spell
But God, if she'd died, I would have died as well
I didn't want to leave without confessing how I feel
Then she told me she loved me, she loved me for real
I tried to resist, tried with all my might
How could something so real feel so right?
If I was to die, I wanted first to profess
my love and how it was to feel her caress
I was in heaven when we made love amidst the debris
It was as if this act of love that had set me free
I cannot douse the fire that burns within
I know now I hurt Ricardo, that I, your son, has sinned
I cannot say I was sorry for what I had done
But believe me when I say I want Thine will to be done
I want nothing but happiness for Gabi and my brother
And to patch things up with Carmen, my mother
God give me the strength to get through this rocky road
I realize I will never be fully relieved of this heavy load
My feelings are too strong, I am only a man
But I will kepp my vow, and do the best that I can
I ask this in Your name. Amen
