The full scope of horrors

Has finally been exposed

The Jews have been rescued

But the matter's not yet closed

He is retelling his story

Of those heinous years

As he recalls the pain

His eyes fill with tears

Remembering the non-Jews

Who showed their kindness

They didn't have to save him

But did so nonetheless

He explains how he hid

So he wouldn't be deported

And others ignored warnings

That Jan Karski had reported

Churches, orphanages, and homes

All lent out their aid

Taking the roles of Angels

Accepting what God made

I listen to him speak

As tears roll down my face

He takes a breath of freedom

For it knows no race

As I await his next words

There's a tightness in my chest

Thank Heavens that I'm free

And thank God for all the rest
