about

This song is based on some poems of William Blake about death, sorrow and compassion. But if in the original poem of Blake sorrow leads to compassion, here sorrow is related to death and misery

lyrics

Can I see another’s woe
And not be in sorrow too
Can I see another’s grief
And not seek for kind relief
Can I see a falling tear
And not feel my sorrow’s share
Can a father see his child
weep, nor be sorrow filled
Can a mother sit and hear
an infant groan infant fear

Hear the wren with sorrows small
Hear the small bird grieve and die
Hear the woes that infants bear

The road of death is made of gold
Mortal eyes cannot behold
The road of death is made of gold
Mortal eyes cannot behold

Drive your cart over the bones of the dead
Drive your cart over the bones of the dead
Drive your cart over the bones
Drive your cart over the bones

Hear the wren with sorrows small
Hear the small bird grieve and die

Some to misery are born
To misery are born
