When will sorrows of this world subside?
When will sorrows of this world subside?
We die each day, just to keep alive,
When will sorrows of this world subside?
We die each day, just to keep alive,
When will they cease?
When oh when, when oh when, when oh when, when?
When oh when, when oh when, when oh when, when?
When will sorrows of this world subside?

No hope remains, no feeling stirs,
Even oceans cannot quench the thirst that burns.
No hope remains, no feeling stirs,
Even oceans cannot quench the thirst that burns.
Those who complain, find only pain,
All eyes I see, are stained with tears that fall.
When will sorrows of this world subside?
We die each day, just to keep alive,
When will sorrows of this world subside?

Since love's own lamp began to gleam,
The world's own pain, I took into my dream.
Since love's own lamp began to gleam,
The world's own pain, I took into my dream.
Waiting I stayed, no spring returned,
In this ruins, my life begins to fade.
When will sorrows of this world subside?
We die each day, just to keep alive,
When will sorrows of this world subside?

Each street now sleeps, the city's gone to rest,
Oblivious to the plight in which we're pressed.
Each street now sleeps, the city's gone to rest,
Oblivious to the plight in which we're pressed.
My heart is dimmed, but eyes stay awake,
How long shall we bear these nocturnal storms?
When will sorrows of this world subside?
When will sorrows of this world subside?
We die each day, just to keep alive,
When will sorrows of this world subside?
We die each day, just to keep alive,
When will they cease?
When oh when, when oh when, when oh when, when?
When oh when, when oh when, when oh when, when?
