Lyrics
Cry the pain across the hill
For a city that is burning
Cry the pain and then be still
And help the people mourning
Did they have to build a bomb
To tell the hatred story
And did we have to dig a tomb
To quell the mystery?
CHORUS
Cry the pain and join the song
For the City in the Sun (Nairobi)
Cry the pain but then be strong
God’s justice will be done!
Cry the pain for the Haven of Peace (Dar es Salaam)
For the mother, father and child
For one day all the pain will cease
From the city to the wild.
Cry the pain across the sea
For they cannot save them all
Lay aside your cup of tea
And hear the children call
Cry the pain and don’t forget
The unity in tragedy
Cry the pain and DON’T YOU LET
This lesson roll away.
CHORUS
Cry the pain and join the song
For the City in the Sun (Nairobi)
Cry the pain but then be strong
God’s justice will be done!
Cry the pain for the Haven of Peace (Dar es Salaam)
For the mother, father and child
For one day all the pain will cease
From the city to the wild.
O Cry the pain and join the song
For the City in the Sun (Nairobi)
Cry the pain but then be strong
God’s justice will be done!
Cry the pain for the Haven of Peace (Dar es Salaam)
For the mother, father and child
For one day all the tears will cease
From the city to the wild.
