Plamenev - Dear God...

When you see the beginning of the day, And pallid light of thin and gleamy stars; In the celestial fire you’ll see the ray, For years it has been giving life to us; And then you’ll realise how profound The life is given to you for a spell, And you will see the cruel fight around, The fight that life contains inside its shell. Dear God, hear me; it’s hard to be the faithful; How to keep faith if I always hear How the world says the words severe and painful That you have gone and your love’s disappeared! Being in the circle of the daily grind We have forgotten what being human is; We hurt each other every time we try To turn into the beasts. But I would like to think upon the love, And I believe that my fate has the light, It leads me through the dark like a white dove; And lights me up inside.
