The Hammer Shines Through the Storm
by Roberto Battistini
I've learned to walk
I've crossed many roads
passed many bridges
but at any turning point,
in glory or desperation,
I know you were there,
without any hesitation.
A vigorous thunder
that shines in coldest winter nights
to light up the way
and give strength to the humans
to approach a brand new day.
Oh God of the Hammer,
don't leave us surrounded by enemies,
but shine on our household
like your hammer strikes through the storm.
