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 
baby's cry? 
Oh what do they do? 
Lord, what do they do? 
Is their justice worth 
harmless child's blood? 

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
