By Way of Sorrow

By Way Of Sorrow

You have been taken by the wind, you have known the kiss of sorrow,
Doors that would not take you in, outcast and a stranger....

You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,
But you'll reach your destiny - meant to find you all these years.

You have drunk a bitter wine, with none to be your comfort,
You who once were left behind, will be welcome at love's table.

You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,
But you'll reach your destiny - meant to find you all these years.

All the nights that joy has slept, will awake to days of laughter,
Gone the tears that you have wept, you'll dance in freedom ever after.

You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,
But you'll reach your destiny - meant to find you all these years.



The above is the words to a song by Cry, Cry, Cry. It reflects my wishes for the future of the Iraqi people.
