No moment is like this one

the nights last, quiet hour.

No more burning greifs,

no more mute voices.

Take now in your hands

this day that has passed.

I do know: in goodness you turn what I've held or broken.

Evil I think, evil I do,

but you heal everything and purify.

My days you turn

from sand to noble diamonds.

You can lift, you can carry,

I could leave everything.

take me, lead me, be close to me!

Then let whatever you want happen to me!
