Dear brother, you bore your cross so beautifully
Rest assured that your witness among us stands true
The axe was taken to your neck for all to see
You held firm while your life was taken from you
And I’m sorry that your pain is not my pain
That your victory brings no rejoicing
All this comfort’s taken me out of the game
No cry of protest will I be voicing
Oh how can I/Seek to justify/How I never cry
When Heaven weeps
Yeah I/Stay locked up inside/With all of my pride
While Heaven weeps
Dear sister, you’re hanging on diligently
To the faith that was delivered once for all
Labor camp gates can’t constrain your glee
Tortured, starved and raped but you don’t hate at all
And I’m sorry that your pain is not my pain
That your victory brings no rejoicing
All this comfort’s taken me out of the game
No cry of protest will I be voicing
Oh how can I/Seek to justify/How I never cry
When Heaven weeps
Yeah I/Stay locked up inside/With all of my pride
While Heaven weeps
