When you left your home
When you broke that heart
You were not alone
When you chose that road
And that heavy load
You were not alone
The firmness of the earth, a witness
The embrace of the sky, a witness
towns pass, like grass, they wither
nations fall, and flags fly away
but the earth and the sky they are with us,
day to day to day
bones crack, and like wheat they are scattered
the furnace of the world flames away
ashes on the wind, they are seeking to live another day
When you wept and fell
When you suffered hell
You were not alone
And when the night came down
When your rest was found
You were not alone
The embrace of the earth, a witness
The bosom of the sky
