This song (lyrics below) is dedicated to all the
families, around the world, who have lost someone to
violence. Let our words always be the "soft answer
that turneth away wrath".
SONG FOR THE BEREAVED
(HAVE YOU SEEN MY DAUGHTER)
© Joël Almeida
Have you seen my daughter?
Have you seen my son?
Have you seen my mommy?
My daddy, anyone?
My brother and my sister?
I hope that they can see
How very much I love them ...
How bitterly I weep.
Just the other day
We were walking in the park:
Singing in the sunshine,
Carefree as a lark.
The future stretched before us
Full of love and friends.
How could we imagine
Such a bitter end?
Have you seen .... How bitterly I weep.
The clothes she left behind ...
Still hanging on the rack.
The mug he loved to drink from ...
Still haven’t put it back.
The odds were stacked against us.
We hope through all our pain
That still, somehow, somewhere,
Someday we’ll hug again.
Have you seen .... How bitterly I weep.
