Somewhere a rooster is crowing
as light creeps across a darkened sky
and a farmer herds his cattle
patiently to where green pastures lie
Somewhere a mighty king
is ordering his five horses
to war, to war the brave soldiers shout
Somewhere a prayer is being said
for God’s mercy to bless every head
while somewhere in a crop field
someone’s beloved lies dead
Somewhere on a lonely hilltop
a cross is being erected
while somewhere in silence
a broken heart is being mended
Somewhere a woman’s scream fills the night
As a swallow leaves the nest to take its first flight
Somewhere a bereaved mother is crying
While somewhere the last of day’s light
is slowly dying.
