Listen to the rain, widow
Listen to the rain
Teardrops of the killed
Seeking their widows
Listen to the wind, orphan
Listen to the wind
The killed
Are calling their babies

Oh merciful sovereigns
All your good intentions
Tell me are they worth
A baby's cry?
Oh what do they do?
Lord, what do they do?
Is their justice worth
A harmless child's blood?

Listen to the rain
Teardrops of the killed
Seeking their widows
Listen to the wind, orphan
Listen to the wind
The killed
Are calling their babies
