Un peu d'amour et quelques cendres

We stay out of Your church most of the time, at Easter too. But we never wanted to be less than saints. We wanted to love each other so bad that everyone would know we were Your disciples, here and now, in 2008. Please help us. Please don't leave us.

We tried, we thought about all of it real hard, we took the first hesitant steps and now we're lousy and confused. We fail all the time. We don't know shit. Right now, it feels like we're giving up, another generation of uninspired losers, we're signing up to almost fail. Signing up to leave behind "a bit of love and a few ashes". We never wanted to be less than saints. We wanted You to shine among us. And You do! You do shine among broken losers. Please stay, our Lord and our God, please stay.

Sans l'espoir d'apprendre à leur apprendre
à ne pas compter les heures
qui s'enroulent et qui meurent
que leur dire ? Qu'ils viennent sur terre juste pour y répandre
un peu d'amour et quelques cendres.

Les Innocents, Un Homme Extraordinaire.
