Lyrics

[CHORUS]
Dolorosa, standing alongside the cross
You know the pain of sorrow
You know the cause and the cost
When God’s own children suffer
You share the weight of their loss

The pain of the illness which brings nightly dread
The cry of the hungry denied daily bread
The silence of those who can’t speak for fear
And anguish of those who have no friend near

The pain of a people failed and oppressed
Their fight with injustice subdued not redressed
Stories unsung, futures unsure
You see the indifference shown the poor
