THE HYMN OF BROKEN SOULS

Think of the broken souls
And make them sing a melody
Make them sing a lullaby
And cry for them to find
Their peace.

Try to understand their sacrifices
What they did for you.
Even if you can’t see them,
They’ll always be with you,
Small shadows with a glint of
Hope.

Because that’s the only thing that
Keeps a flame ignited deep within.
A reminder of hope.
And bound to this world by you
You don’t care about them and hit them because
They aren’t alive.

But they are alive
Alive in your heart.
Well, they should be,
But your ignorance kicked them away
Forever.

Think just once about them,
About what they were,
And about what they will be from now on.
Even if you were a child
You “killed” them with your
Anger.

Even if you didn’t deserve it,
They gave you everything they could
And they also gave you the most important thing: life.
Your life and their life
Again and again.

Think about them and pray for their memory
Beg God to forgive them,
The ones whom you involuntarily ”murdered”
With your arrogance and pride.
The ones who died with a bad memory of you.
