We weep for the passing of the sunflower
We weep for the passing of the speaker-out
May your bones be the soil of the strength we need
May your blood be the wter of the hope we need
May your memory be the breath of our will
To go on
We cry out at the passing of the builder
We cry out at the passing of the tearer-down
We mourn the dousing of the fire
We mourn the bursting of the storming heart
We witness the passing of the spring-time
We embrace the passing of the early bloom
We sing for the coming of the future
We sing for the rising of the longed-for seed
May your bones be the soil of the strength we need
May your blood be the water of the hope we need
May your memory be the breath of our will
To go on.
