Eyes of Sorrow
Stare deep into the eyes of sorrow
She knows not fate of her tomorrow
The loyalty of her countrymen
Divided against the Americans
It is only freedom she desires
From dignitaries of the prior
Reigning king of her holy land
That ruled her life with a cold black hand
She hopes her children’s lives will flourish
With new offspring their minds they’ll nourish
Hence they’ll designate a new tomorrow
And reverse the spell of the eyes of sorrow.
