Last song is “Silent Sunlight” A song to give Hope or the coming New Earth.
Lyrics “The Ruins” Cat Stevens
It’s so quiet in the ruins walking though the old town
Stones crumbling under my feet I see smoke for miles around
Oh it’s enough to make you weep, all that remains of the main street
Up in the park on Sunday, dogs chasing and the children played
Old man with his head down, can’t see nothing more around, no
But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days,
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
It’s nice to see a friendly face come peeping through having tea
In the afternoon, so nice to see you coming back in this town again
Ah but it’s all changed winter turned on a man
Came down on day when no-one was looking and it
Stole away the land, people running scared, losing hands
Dodging shadows of falling sand, buildings standing like empty shells
And nobody…helping no-one else
Young child with his hands high, ain’t able to see no reason why, no
But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days,
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
It’s nice to see a friendly face come peeping through
You’d better know what you’re going through now
You came back here to find your home is a black horizon
That you don’t recognize, evil destruction has taken everything
You’d better walk on the side while you’re still walking
Just keep on walking on down the street keep your distance
From the people you meet.
Oh Lord and you’d better watch your eyes
‘Cause if smoke gets in them, baby you won’t rise again.
Where’s it leading to freedom at what cost
People needing more and more and it’s all getting lost
I want back, I want back
Back to the time when the earth was green
And there was no high walls and the sea was clean
Don’t stop that sun to shine, it’s not yours or mine, no.
Hunc ornatum mundi
Nolo perdere
Video flagrare
Omnia res
Audio clamare
Homines
Nunc extinguitur
Mundi et astrorum lumen
Nunc concipitur
Mali hominis crimen
Tristitate et lacrimis
Gravis est dolor
De terraque maribus
Magnus est clamor
O caritas, O caritas
Nobis semper sit amor
Nos perituri mortem salutamus
Sola resurgit vita
Ah, this world is burning fast
Oh, this world will never last
I don’t want to lost it here in my time
Give me time forever here in my time.
O’Caritas
“Compassion” (O’Caritas translation from Spanish)
This ornament of the world, I do not want to lose it.
I see everything’s on fire
I hear people shouting
Now the light of the world and the stars are extinguishing
Now bad people conceive their sins
With sadness and tears, deep is the grief
From the Earth and the Seas, great is the cry
Oh compassion, oh compassion, may love always be with us
Us, who will perish greeting the death
Only life will resurrect itself
Ah, this world is burning fast
Oh, the world will never last
I don’t want to lose it here in my time
Give me time forever here in my time

Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
And the people I saw were the people I know
And they all came down to take a view
Oh the path was dark and borderless
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
And it stung my tongue to repeat the words
That I used to use only yesterday
Meanings just dropped to the ground
I tried to remember what I thought
And what I used to say
“Don’t let me go down” no don’t let me go
Oh my hands were tied as I struggled inside
The empty waste of another day
Memories were blank to my eyes
The fire and the glory of that night
Seemed safely locked away
Too hungry to rise, oh too hungry to
Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
And the people I saw were the people I know
And they all came down to take a view
The path was dark and borderless
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
But my head felt better as I turned the car
And the airport slowly came to view
One mile said the sign
Oh I checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22
Made it just in time, boy you’ve made it just in time

THE NEW EARTH IS COMING. A SONG OF HOPE
“SILENT SUNLIGHT” Cat Stevens
Lyrics
Silent sunlight, welcome in
There is work I must now begin
All my dreams have blown away
And the children want to play
They’ll soon remember things to do
When the heart is young
And the night is done
And the sky is blue
Morning songbird, sing away
Lend a tune to another day
Bring your wings and choose a roof
Sing a song of love and truth
We’ll soon remember if you do
When all things were torn
And our friends were small
And the world was new
Sleepy horses, heave away
Put your backs to the golden hay
Don’t ever look behind at what you’ve done
For your work has just begun
There’ll be the evening in the end
But till that time arrives
You can rest your eyes
And begin again
