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.
