so much...

so much sorrow, planes crashed in the sea
so much sorrow, too many children cry themselves to sleep
so much sorrow sung by angels unsure of their dreams
so much sorrow, lullabies join the hymns under the great oak trees
so much sorrow, mourning too much eternal rest
so much sorrow, that hoarse last cry for peace on earth
so much sorrow, after gunfire bloodies stoic hearts
so much sorrow, so far away, so close to my heart
so much sorrow, my mother’s soft weeping voice as I am laid to rest
so much sorrow cannot touch my soul, for I am deaf now to life
so much sorrow, death has brought me no solace


so much...
