Remind me of heaven
When hell’s what I live in,
Remind me of flowery spring.
Self torture and sorrow –
My names for tomorrow,
Remind me a dim light to bring.

When children are crying,
When mothers are dying,
Remind me a prayer to make,
And when wars awaken
And pure dreams are broken,
Remind me the whole blame to take.

If brothers kill each other,
If sons forget their mother,
Remind me to open their eyes.
When words, sublime or poor,
The emptiness endure,
Remind me to throw all the lies.

When dark thoughts invade me,
When fall comes inside me,
Remind me of white angel wings.
And when great illusions
Become the solutions,
Remind me to wash all my sins.

And don’t you forget
To remind me of you…
