Strength to be patient

Nothing much left in me

Your power had not remained

anything in me.

I'm waiting for this parade

to pass me, to see what you left me

Nothing much left in me

Just some of the light of my eyes,

that I wouldn't need, to see through

I will give the light to you

and some of the strength of

my willpower. Don't burn them

or take the hope from them.

Take care of them!

Some of me eagerly wanders

to seek you in the parade,

call you, with my unheard voice.

Ask you to give me

some of your mercy,

and strength to be patient

So what left in me wouldn't

float on the sea.
