Kristallnacht
Broken glass, broken lives,
Glass in shards, like crystal knives-
On a night of broken glass.
Broken hopes, broken dreams,
The shards reflect our lives, it seems-
On the night of broken glass.
Broken homes, broken hearts,
Parents, children; torn apart-
On this night of broken glass.
Broken buildings, broken souls,
Broken synagogues and torah scrolls-
On this night of broken glass.
Broken pride, broken stand,
We are shamed with our religious brand-
On that night of broken glass.
Broken city, broken town,
Within disconsolation we drown-
During that night of broken glass.
Broken country, broken land,
Ruined lives once so grand-
From the night of Broken Glass.
