Lyrics

Oh Lord, give me patience!
This life demands experience
Friends, fellow travellers,
You can kill me or you can let me live
But I will tell you something true
And this truth is precious to me
It has nestled in my lungs
Like a poison, my friends
Truth itself is always hard, unconquerable
He who hears it can turn
Into a rebel
