  • Let the Sound Fall Silent

    Let the ring of every bell fall silent; / we’ve pondered freedom long enough! / The sound has come to drive away the night: / the shofar’s call, boldly awakening our might.

  • And When the Forest Turns Green

    And when the forest turns bright and green, / and the sun climbs to mid-sky, / all the woodcutters will abide / and see the blooming of every tree.

  • The Signals

    New times are coming – strange new times / unlike any we have ever known, / and wonders must before your eyes unfold / that people will point to for a long time.

  • I Listened Closely to my Soul

    I listened closely to my soul, / and heard, from afar, the song / of men striding with purpose, / their steps ringing on the hard earth.
