why did the golden place flee into our dreams and lodge there
never to be seen again on earth
how we have wept for you, invisible country
how we have laid rose petals down and our lives
to make the magnetizing path for you again
the shadows of you have withdrawn inside of us
fleeing the persecutions
but even your shadows are light.
who will take the baby from its mother at the time of birth
will understand what has been done to us
and the murderers thrive
even after the Lord has risen.
roll the stone from over my mouth
and cry to the earth and sky
we LIVE
we LIVE
we LIVE
