May Our Eyes Remain Open Commissioned by Gilroy High School Chamber Singers, Jon Souza, Director and Christopher High School Chamber Choir, Kira Dixon, Director Written in honor of those victimized by the Gilroy Garlic Festival Shooting May our eyes remain open even in the face of tragedy. May we not become disheartened May we find the cup of the broken heart May we discover the gift of the fire burning in the chamber of our being Burning great and bright enough to transform any poison May we offer our sorrow to the service of what' s greater than ourselves May the suffering purify us and not paralyze us May we endure May sorrow bond us and not separate us May we realize the greatness of our sorrow And not run from its touch or its flame May our wrath be cleansing Cutting through confusion of denial and greed May we not be afraid to see or speak or truth May the bleakness of wasteland be dispelled May the soul' s journey be revealed May we be forgiven for what we' ve forgotten And blessed with the remembrance of who we really are. ---The Terma Collective
