I just learned of this English version of Abie Rotenberg's Habeit by Shaya Hecht, from my friend SR Kohn.

It's beautiful, but hard to hear his therapy words part.

Here's what I think the lyrics are. Not sure about what sounds like "unkind"

Father on High
Please listen to our cry
For the world- Your world- has seen unkind (?)
Your sons and daughters
Like sheep to the slaughter
In the darkness of our torture
We call out to You, Father

Through the pain, through all the pain
And still we won’t forget You
Our faith won’t sway because
Your love still shines through
Through the pain, through all the pain
And still we won’t forget You
Please don’t forget us, Father

What do you think? Is it "unkind?"

Update
Youre right. He said its has seemed unkind

He also told me what his meditative words were, in case anyone wants to know

Here's the email

I am thrilled that you found the song meaningful.

Here are the lyrics:

Father on high
Please listen to our cry
For the world, your world has seemed unkind
Your sons and daughters
Like sheep to the slaughter
In the darkness of our torture
We call out to you father

Father on high
Please listen to our cry
For the world, your world has seemed unkind
Your sons and daughters
Like sheep to the slaughter
In the darkness of our torture
We call out to you father

Through the pain through all the pain still we won’t forget you
Our faith won’t sway because your love still shines through

Through the pain through all the pain still we won’t forget you
Please don’t forget us father

Through the pain through all the pain still we won’t forget you
Our faith won’t sway because your love still shines through

Through the pain through all the pain still we won’t forget you
Please don’t forget us father

(Talking part)- “Oh we’ve been through so much, can we take a moment to honor, respect, and validate that it makes so much sense that it hurts.”

הבט משמים…

ובכל ובכל זאת..

“Can you take a breath deep inside with me now and locate those pained parts and let them know how much they deserve love and care. And invite Hashem to be here with us too because you didn’t forget about him. And like you didn’t forget about him, He didn’t forget your name too. And just take those deep breaths and let him know.. about your pain…Invite Him to feel it all because he could handle all of it. And just imagine releasing in your breathe all that pain into the large container that Hashem has for it. In and out. In and out…And if you could feel his love, the hug that he has for you, I want to invite you to fill those spots with his love.”

ובכל ובכל זאת..
Through the pain through all the pain…
Please don’t forget us Father.

All the best,

Shaya Hecht
