In a world of chaos and despair,
Where darkness seemed to fill the air,
A tale unfolds, a story so grand,
Of a saintly soul in this troubled land.
(Verse 2)
St. Damien, a beacon of grace,
With love and mercy, he embraced
the lepers' pain and suffering deep,
his heart entwined, his vow to keep.
(Verse 3)
On Molokai's shores, he found his home,
A place where hope began to bloom.
He served the sick with tender care,
Alleviating their misery there.
(Verse 4)
As years went by, his body weak,
His spirit never ceased to seek
The peace and solace they all could gain,
United by a love that knew no pain.
(Chorus)
Tears of St. Damien, they gently flow,
A testament to his love aglow,
In the hearts of those he touched and healed,
His legacy of compassion sealed.
(Verse 5)
Though his own health began to fade,
St. Damien's love never swayed.
He embraced the suffering as his own,
Finding strength in faith as he was known.
(Verse 6)
To the very end, he served and prayed,
A saintly soul whose deeds displayed
The greatest love, pure and divine,
A beacon in the darkest time.
(Chorus)
Tears of St. Damien, they gently flow,
A testament to his love aglow,
In the hearts of those he touched and healed,
His legacy of compassion sealed.
(Bridge)
Now, St. Damien's spirit lives on,
His selfless acts forever known.
A symbol of hope and love untamed,
In hearts and souls, his light remains.
(Chorus)
Tears of St. Damien, they gently flow,
A testament to his love aglow,
In the hearts of those he touched and healed,
His legacy of compassion sealed.
(Outro)
St. Damien, your love will never fade,
Inspiring us with hearts that wade
Through trials, pain and darkest night,
Guided by your selfless, eternal light.
