A tribute to all Holocaust victims. |
Tears are falling From his eyes, I can almost see him there, I watch as he sits and cries, And I try to interpret the tears, Falling from his sad eyes; A tear of longing, Longing for his family, Longing for his home, Longing for who he used to be, Longing for love, Longing for life as it should be; A tear of remembrance, Remembrance of life, Remembrance of love, Remembrance of his loving wife, Remembrance of truth and honor, Remembrance of a good life; A tear of pure fear, Fear of tomorrow, Fear of the role call, And fear of the oncoming sorrow, A fear that life may end today, A tear that says "life is borrowed"; The last tear that he sheds, Is a tear of love, As man hears his God, Calling from above, And his spirit flies from Earth, Graceful as a dove. One more tear Will fall tonight, A tear of my very own, I watched a prisoner die tonight, Because he was a Jew, And now his soul has taken flight, He's out there asking you To remember the holocaust, Remember the fight, And to make sure the future stays bright. |
