SIX MILLION TEARS- JEP Boys Choir- Composed By Chaim Schnell- JEP Vol. 1/Reach Out

——————————————
Stained is our past
With bad memories,
Tears water
A forest of trees.

We are the fruit
And the moist seed,
We shan’t forget
The axemen’s decree.
——————————————
CHORUS:
For six million tears
Fell to the ground,
The world stood still –
Didn’t make a sound.
(x2)
——————————————
Box cars closed,
Voices heard within,
Silent prayers were said,
Forgive me, Lord, I’ve sinned.

While chimneys were smoking,
The world turned blind.
How could this happen,
To our very own kind?
——————————————
CHORUS:
For six million tears
Fell to the ground,
The world stood still –
Didn’t make a sound.
(x2)
——————————————
Flowers and weeds
Covered for miles,
Tortured souls
Who knew not how to smile.

Pulled from their beds,
Taken away to die,
We must awaken,
Our souls must cry.
——————————————
CHORUS:
For six million tears
Fell to the ground,
The world stood still –
Didn’t make a sound.
(x2)
——————————————
Mothers and Fathers,
The young and old.
Gasping for breath,
In each other’s home.

We are to blame
For yet other deaths
If these tears
We somehow forget.
——————————————
CHORUS:
For six million tears
Fell to the ground,
The world stood still –
Didn’t make a sound.

For six million tears
Fell to the ground,
Through these tears,
Our roots are bound.
