Sorrow has no place
In the land of grace
You must wear a pretty face
Sorrow has no place.
Sorrow has no place
It's a waste of time and space
Oh my very human heart
Sorrow has no place.
Sorrow has no place
You must gild with lace
Lips that droop eyes that seep
Oceans of solace.
The sun tells us to race
Gather kisses and embrace
Our days and dues be done
Let love light up this face
And so should sorrow overcome
Gird up your hearts and minds
Let the tremors of the heart
Be strings that tender bind
Freedom lies in yourself
Thank the Lord for your wealth
Plant sorrow in sunlit soil
Grow tall the tree of health
You will discover what you need
Once you sow this lonely seed
Love comes, to all, you'll find
Let not your sorrow blind.
