When the heart cries only God hears The pain rises from the soul A man falls down before he sinks He cuts the silence with a small prayer Shma Israel, my God, you are the mighty one You gave me my life you gave me everything A tear in my eyes, the heart cries in silence And when the heart is silent the soul cries out Shma Israel, my God, I am all alone nowMake me strong, my God, so I will not be afraid The pain is great and there is no where to run Make it end, I don’t have any strength left When the heart cries time stands stillA man sees his life passing in front of him He doesn’t want to go to the unknown He calls his God as he stands on the edge of the deep

Translator's note:
The song was written in 2000 after the brutal lynching of two reserve soldiers in Ramalla.
