  A Psalm Beyond the Silences
  
  If they could be here now,
  The six million murdered then,
  They would see survivors
  Praying in their memory...
  A psalm beyond the silence.
  
  If they could be here now,
  Those too, too soon taken,
  They would share this proud prayer
  Of the children of truth...
  A psalm beyond the silence.
  
  If they could be here now,
  Those who would have loved us,
  They'd hear words in our hearts:
  “L'chaim!... Yes!... Never again!...”
  A psalm beyond that silence.
  
  if they could be here now,
  The kin we should have known,
  They would say: “Love all truth,
  We can choose to bear it...”
  A psalm beyond their silence.
  
  If they could be here now,
  Those once too often chosen,
  They could choose, as we do,
  To pray through joy and pain...
  A psalm beyond Thy silence.
