I don’t mind the suffering, I just hope it means something. When lovers hearts are torn apart, I don’t mind. I just hope it means something. When the lion’s strength wanes and he is ostracized to starve, I don’t mind. I just hope it means something. When young men die in trenches, when soldiers follow orders, I don’t mind. I just hope it means something. When parents bury their children, when tragedy is capricious, I don’t mind. I just hope it means something. When indifferent gods refuse to intervene, I don’t mind, I just hope it means something. When an old woman weeps over a photo album, I don’t mind. I just hope it means something. When the sun inevitably swallows any evidence that we were here, I won’t mind.. but I will hope it meant something

I don’t mind, I just hope it means something
I don’t mind the suffering, I just hope it means something. When lovers hearts are torn apart, I don’t mind. I just hope it means something. When the lion’s strength wanes and he is ostracized to starve, I don’t mind. I just hope it means something. When young men die in trenches, when soldiers follow orders, I don’t mind. I just hope it means something. When parents bury their children, when tragedy is capricious, I don’t mind. I just hope it means something. When indifferent gods refuse to intervene, I don’t mind, I just hope it means something. When an old woman weeps over a photo album, I don’t mind. I just hope it means something. When the sun inevitably swallows any evidence that we were here, I won’t mind.. but I will hope it meant something
