Waves of SorrowBy Elton Smith, Berrien Lucius and Steve Israel
So many young people are in peril today, their voices and opportunities declining as our country becomes more and more polarized. I wrote the music for this song and started the lyrics. Berrien added more heartfelt lyrics and Steve poured his musical talent into the haunting recording. If you know someone who is discouraged, give them an encouraging word. It may save their life. - Elton, January 3, 2018

You came into this world full of promise
We touched your face You came into this world full of promise To run life's race You came into this world full of promise Your ship was launched Into the deep blue ocean she sailed With fire in her eyes Out to conquer the world Your ship was strong But somewhere along Your demise had begun Your cry went unheard What could we have done? The night descends The storm begins Your ship comes undone I still feel your touch And the warmth of your smile Come and walk by my side Can we talk for a while? Now I know I can't pay it back This debt that I owe My treasure has washed away In waves of sorrow Deep waves of sorrow (Instrumental crying) You came into this world full of promise We touched your face You came into this world full of promise To run life's race You came into this world full of promise Your ship was launched Into the deep blue ocean she sailed But the fates were unkind Her endeavor had failed And the rest of my life Will be waves of sorrow In memory of Hollis Smith 1993-2015 Thanks to these sites for the sound effects Steve used in the recording: FreeSFX.co.uk and FreeSound.org.
