No sacrifice I made
unto their gods,
No wonder why they hate me
without cause.
But watch me lift
my cup and smile;
Their ridicule will only
last a while.
My life has fallen to
a pleasant place.
Late in the night, in dreams,
I see Your face.
At dawn, life starts
again and I awake
I sing a song, I laugh
for laughter’s sake.
Still they’ll abuse me,
always, without cause
I stay focused on
my own path.
