about

Another piece that grew out of the 'Babylon' project, this song tries to place itself in the experience of a man fleeing Syria and feeling abandoned by God.

lyrics and music: Brendan Taaffe

lyrics

Why have you abandoned us here on the shore,
While storm clouds gather and roar?
To the world we are objects of anger and wrath,
To the Lord beloved no more.

Our homes were destroyed like a castle of sand,
So with thousands and thousands we flee.
Our lives we place in thy merciful hand
To face darkness and storms on the sea.
