What can we do?
All we can do is live.
We'll live through... a long row of days.
And through the endless evenings.
And we'll bear up
under the trials fate has sent to us. We
will constantly toil for others
now... and for the rest of our days.
And when we come to die...
we'll die submissively.
Beyond the grave
we will testify that we've suffered.
That we've wept.
That we've known bitterness.
And God will take pity on us.
You and I.
God will take pity on us, and we will live
a life of radiant joy
and peace.
And we'll look back on this life of our unhappiness
with tenderness.
And we'll smile.
And in that new life we shall rest.
I have faith.
We shall rest to the songs of the angels
in a firmament arrayed in jewels.
And we'll look down
and we'll see evil.
All the evil in the world...
And all our sufferings
bathed in a perfect mercy
And our lives grown sweet as a caress.
I know you've had no joy in your life.
But just wait...
Only wait.
We shall rest.
We shall rest.
