Sands of Sorrow

[Verse] Whispers of hunger Cries in the night Children's dreams vanish with the light A land of ashes Skies painted gray How can we turn Just look away? [Prechorus] The walls grow higher Hope runs thin A battle no soul can ever win [Chorus] Sands of sorrow Tears of pain A world of silence Hearts in chains We watch We wait But do we care? Sands of sorrow The shame we bear [Verse 2] Empty plates Their voices plead The world ignores their deepest need Shattered homes A broken ground Yet justice's voice is never found [Prechorus] The winds cry louder The stars grow dim Their struggle drowns in the shadows grim [Chorus] Sands of sorrow Tears of pain A world of silence Hearts in chains We watch We wait But do we care? Sands of sorrow The shame we bear
