Текст с Bandcamp’а: “Dedicated to my friend Niki (Nevena Stojcic, 1926–1999). Taken prisoner as a teenager and made to work in a submarine factory in World War II Germany, she was left with many painful memories. After immigrating to America she started experiencing physical problems that left her in constant pain and eventually tied her to a wheelchair. When her leg was amputated she hit an all-time low. One amazing thing about Niki was that in the midst of all her hardships she was able to hang on to her faith in a God that she knew loved her and would listen to her. She loved the psalms in which David would pour out his complaints to God. “If he could do it, I can do it,” she would say. May her story be an inspiration to us all when faced with hard times. —Hilde lyrics I see you lying there so helpless and alone I wonder where your thoughts are. Are they going back home? A little girl just fine, free from any cares Your legs so strong and healthy running up and down those hills You came across the ocean with dreams of happiness But endless disappointment was waiting for you here Soon your life would change beneath the clouds of war Your country was invaded; you were taken by force Screams of hate and fear became your everyday I’ve seen your desperation as the memories return You came across the ocean with dreams of happiness But endless disappointment was waiting for you here A woman with no home, you tried to look ahead The land of opportunity was calling your name Did it give you peace? Did you ever feel at home? Far from your own people you were going on alone You came across the ocean with dreams of happiness But endless disappointment was waiting for you here Then your close companion was the pain that wouldn’t leave When your leg was gone you felt that you could not go on You cry out to your God every day and every night You know He suffers with you and calls you His own You won’t reject His name. He is your only hope And you will meet Him soon when He carries you home So look across to Heaven and dream of happiness An endless celebration is waiting for you there He’s waiting for you there from Standing Stones, released May 24, 2002 Lyrics: Hilde Bialach Music: Hilde Bialach, Mike Baznik, trad.
