For those who lost a commrad, for those who lost a friend, for those who lost a reletieve
Lets remember them, for the freedom they brought.    

God

God, give me what you have left
Give me what no one ever requests.

I am not asking you for the rest
Nor tranquility
Niether that of the soul, nor of the body.

I am not asking for wealth
Nor success, or even health.

You are asked for all of these so often
That you must have none left.

Give me, God, what you have left.
Give me what no one wants.

I seek insecurity and disquient.
I seek torment and combat
And, God, give theme to me indefinitely.
That I am sure to have theme always
Because I won't always have the courage to
Ask you.

Give me, God, what you have left.
Give me what others don't want.
But also give me courage, strength and faith.
