Lift Us Up, a Prayer to Zeus

Zeus and Ganymede

 

Lift us up, blessed Zeus

To the heights of heaven

Where all things are visible

Where all things are clear

 

Lift us up, blessed Zeus

From our pain and sorrow

Where we so often wallow

Where we too often hide

 

Lift us up, blessed Zeus

To the starry firmament

Where dark mysteries live

Where eternity stretches her wings

 

Lift us up, blessed Zeus

From the depths of despair

Where we yearn to give up

Where we want to give in

 

Lift us up, blessed Zeus

To the bright blue sky

Where clouds dance and change form

Where the pretty birds fly

 

Lift us up, blessed Zeus

From under the heel of oppression

Where one man humbles another

Where freedom is but a dream

 

Lift us up, blessed Zeus

To the greatness that is joy

Where there is no pain

Where all but the purity of the soul is forgotten
