I was a stranger

Your eyes are searching deep, but deeper is the reality, the road that you are walking.

Troubles are great, but greater still is the living truth,

the presence that you are bearing.

          I was a stranger and you welcomed me

          without a country, without any passport.

          I was a stranger even for your God

          and you welcomed me as His only Son.

Disturbing pieces of a scattered humanity begging to be welcomed.

A new life's dawning from bleeding realities

now filled with God’s salvation.

          Where’s humanity going? Tell me where!

          Where’s humanity going? Tell me where!

          Are we reaching out to God and to every one?

          Are we reaching out to God as true women and men?

Only by receiving the Son of God

can we meet God in every one.

I canti di questo CD esprimono un grido di denuncia verso una società individualista e indifferente nei confronti delle tragedie di oggi e, insieme, un forte messaggio di speranza fondato sulla certezza che c’è Chi ha preso su di sé il male e l’ha trasformato in Giorno nuovo per tutti, come dice uno dei brani.

A great patient love crosses history

A great patience
which, even through the difficulties of the road,
does not stop to dream of the aim.
The new life is growing in us and in the world,
slowly but surely…
