Where are You?

When I cry out in the night

When I relive the fight

Where are You?

Where, My Lord, are You?

Day after day, I ask You the way

When I beg You change night to day

Where are You?

Where, My Lord, are You?

You say; “Son, believe”

“My grace you’ll receive”

Where are You?

Where, My Lord, are You?

When will You cage

This hatred and rage

Where are You?

Where, My Lord, are You?

When will I see peace?

When will the nightmares cease?

Where are You?

Where, My Lord, are You?
