Original lyrics
Whispering wind Whisper to me Open my eyes for it could have been me Counted and numbered and stripped of dignity To think that it could have been me Children were lost Before they could dream Visions were shattered by yesterday's screams Battered and beaten and strewn about as waste Disposed of in scheduled haste Refrain: Ages of dust Ages ago Over the hills The breeze gently blows Six million stars Sent up in smoke Six million souls But nobody spoke Stories I hear Pictures I see All blend together in death's imagery Remember the nightmare that they were sentenced to For yes, it could happen to you Refrain: Ages of dust Ages ago Over the hills The breeze gently blows Six million stars Sent up in smoke Six million souls But nobody spoke Stories I hear Pictures I see All blend together in death's imagery Remember the nightmare that they were sentenced to For yes, it could happen to you
Translated lyrics
Notes
The piece was first recorded by Ramaz where Andria taught. It was later adapted by Haftr's awesome choir lead by Sandy Sudberg and the Ani Ma'amin part was added.(Caroll Goldberg); When I was taught this song, the lines: Remember the nightmare that they were sentenced to For yes, it could happen to you were taught as "Here hidden from harm, life's without a guarantee, and YES it could happen to me" (Jen Stosser - Australia)
