Lyrics
Song of Sorrow
Music and Lyrics by Chris Koch
Someone sing a song of sorrow
Someone say what must be said
The loss of my tomorrow
Weighs so heavy on my head
For all the sacrifices that we make
Few are for the future or for Life's sake
Distant descendants are calling out to you
Saying 'Save a piece for us, 'Cause we'll want some too!'
If we squander their endowment
Who will remain to appreciate the beauty that we create?
Michelangelo, Mozart
Renoir and Ray Charles
Kipling, Kerouac and Coltrane
