Since many years “If it be your will…” by Leonard Cohen is among my favorite songs. There is a time to speek out loud, a time to keep your mouth shut and:
these ugly times of transition in between.
Auf Deutsch:
Seit vielen Jahre zählt “If it be your will…” von Leonard Cohen zu meinen Lieblingsliedern . Alles hat seine Zeit:
der Aufschrei, das Schweigen. Am schwierigsten jedoch:
die hässlichen Übergänge dazwischen
Enough preliminaries, without further a do here you can listen to the song:
.
and read Cohens lyrics:
If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your willIf it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me singIf it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us wellAnd draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
If it be your will.
