under the Shadows

under the shadows of sorrow
where the road is narrow
under the shadows of sorrow
where life comes tomorrow
under the shadows of sorrow
where the cock's crow
is the only fellow to console
under the shadows...

under the shadows of sorrow
where the sea billows roll
under the shadows of sorrow
where the poor losts his soul
under the shadows of sorrow
where no crops grow
on the land that is left to fallow
under the shadows...

under the shadows of sorrow
where life is slow
under the shadows of sorrow
dreams and aspirations become low
under the shadows of sorrow
where people gather in a row
seeking for a life to borrow
but the only hope is a promise tomorrow
under the shadows...

under the shadows of sorrow
here we stand and live as a hero
for the promise tomorrow
under the shadows...
