(A lone voice whispers.)
Press play before you read. Salute.
Hosanna
Hosanna
Composed
Cn every falling raindrop
Embraced
By all the world's many
Illuminated natives
From nearly every rooftop
Is freedom
Hosanna
Hosanna
A song
Sung in every wet embrace
From every treetop
The greatest symphony of all life
No matter how much this life hurts
When it sometimes
Cuts so deep
With its emotional knife
Hosanna
Hosanna
Run wild my child
They each sing in every teardrop
Before your time comes
Hosanna
Hosanna
Try to say
I truly lived before I died
And all my love
I willingly left behind
I gave
And helped so many others
To survive
Like it was my only state of mind
Hosanna
Hosanna
To all
I could find
Before my flickering candle
Blew out
And from this beautiful life
I resigned
From mankind
Hosanna
Hosanna
I truly lived before I died
And all my love
I left behind
I gave
And helped so many others
To survive
Like it was my only state of mind
Hosanna
Hosanna
To all
I could find
Before my flickering candle
Blew out
And from this beautiful life
I resigned
Hosanna
Hosanna
