The world has left me speechless, and I grieve in silence.
I do not know why... each time I receive news,
Silence is all I can offer.
Good news, so tender, warms my heart...
Yet I fall still,
Reminded of how powerless I am
To partake in its light.
Bad news, cruel and crushing,
Fuels my rage and sorrow...
Yet again I fall silent,
For I am weary, and powerless to prevent it from unfolding.
I weep in silence,
Mourning the world,
Mourning the ones who awaken and struggle alone,
Mourning those still blind to the world's darkness,
Mourning the kind-hearted who choose light
In a world so drenched in night.
O me! O life!
Speak your truth to them...
Defy the sorrow that silences you.
Tell the donkey herder's child
That his smile is nobler than all your despair.
O me! O life!
May you find the strength to speak,
And may you all
Be radiant with grace.
