Can you see it, my friend? That herd marches on, staving their thirst.
Would you truly say that all life on this planet is equal?
Light your fires, the night is near.
Don’t let them burn out,
For fear will make the darkness even stronger.
Look only at the flame.
As you move on toward the fountain you seek (my friend),
I hope that the stars guide you.
A glowing river winds throughout the land and pours on toward the sea.
Many forces are interacting, sharing their gifts.
Give blessings to that merciful rain;
Your tears will eventually change form, then return to your body –
Just keep fighting until then!
Speak in your proud voice (let it be heard),
Your eyes without arrogance.
For you (my friend), who knows the pain that life can bring,
I hope that the stars guide you,
And your beloved.
