I went to Michigan to kind of audit a Post grad level class on Jewish Spirituality. (I know. Imagine the irony. So sue me.)

Some frummer-leaning pals of mine helped me see up close the beauty of davening and some of the t'filot ("Prayers"). This one stuck in my head cuz I liked the sound of the word in Hebrew, little realizing its relation to Chazon [Vision] (and that's a whole nother story).

(My rough English translation):

May our eyes envision/see
Your return to Zion
In compassion
Praise you G-d
(The) return of his Sh'china [presence] to Zion

-----------
A forward looking prayer of hope.
