Lotus in the cradle
can the world hear your cries?
Your tears are falling
can we heed the warning
and see beyond the lies?
Lotus in the tempest
endless days under darkest skies.
Your heart is calling
the truth is dawning
come Spring and a new sunrise.
Lotus in the cradle
such sorrow behind your eyes.
Your tears are falling
can we heed the calling
before another child dies?
Can the world hear your cries?
