Vigils of light, May vigils, here is the voice, here is the courage

You can tell with a song what the prayer vigils to overcome homotransbiphobia of May. Many of us are part of parish choirs, others compose lyrics, others write them, we put a few heads together and after a few arguments with the AI, this melody was born.

A song that speaks of The gospel, rainbow sons and daughters, of families, community, prayer and courage but above all it Speaks of a church that makes concrete Space for lGBTQ+ people, their parents, friends and all believers... not all the same, not all at the same point, but there Together. vigils are just that.

Not ready-made answers... but open spaces. Not a Church that selects, that measures, that asks first of all "are you okay?"... but a Church that welcomes. Which lets in stories, names, faces. Who tries to keep inside even what is not simple.

THE LYRICS OF THE SONG

In the month of May we find ourselves singing
with the Open gospel and the desire to pray.
Rainbow sons and daughters,
families and communities
against homotransbiphobia,
in the light to come.

There are those who come with friends,
who returns after years,
there's a love to hold,
without hiding it from sight anymore.
There is a mother smiling, there is a father nearby
and a church that makes room in the name of the morning.

Vigils of light, May vigils,
here is the voice, here is the courage.
God calls us, God keeps us,
every name belongs to him.

Vigils of light, hand in hand,
No love too far away.
If the Lord is here with us,
there is room for you too.

No need for big words,
just stay together.
A prayer said softly,
a song that supports.
lGBT+ People, believers, true friends.

With Maria accompanying us
towards more sincere days.
And when we go out on the street
the night seems less dark,
because we saw together
that love is not scary.

Hope is not a dream,
it's something that is done.
A vigil, a song,
a name, a community.

Vigil of light, May vigil,
here is the voice, here is the courage.
God calls us, God keeps us,
every name belongs to him.

Vigils of light, hand in hand,
no love too far away.
If the Lord is here with us,
there is room for you too.
