Who knows, O Father, the ache of another's soul?
Who knows, O Father, the world's hidden toll?
In the world, the hidden toll...
Whose pain, O Father, does the world know?
Whose pain, O Father?

Before whom shall tears fall, when all turn away?
No compassion shown, no solace in the day.
Before whom shall tears fall?
Each is spurned, wandering lost,
Hiding the heart's deep ache, oh brother,
Hiding the heart's deep ache.

Oh, friend, the heart's ache concealed.
In this blind world, like a monsoon's storm, nothing is revealed.
Who knows, O Father, the world's hidden toll?
Who knows, O Father, the world's hidden toll?
In the world, the hidden toll...
Whose pain, O Father, does the world know?
Whose pain, O Father, does the world know?

Feet kissed by all, heads bowed low to each,
Feet kissed by all, heads bowed low to each.
A single morsel, ask not what dance it taught!
Oh brother, what a dance it brought!
Truth be told, a wicked hunger it brings,
This belly, a betrayer of all things.
Who knows, O Father, the world's hidden toll?
Who knows, O Father, the world's hidden toll?
In the world, the hidden toll...
Whose pain, O Father, does the world know?
Whose pain, O Father, does the world know?

Even in dreams, the doll remains unseen.
Who knows, O Father, the world's hidden toll?
Who knows, O Father, the world's hidden toll?
In the world, the hidden toll...
Whose pain, O Father, does the world know?
Whose pain, O Father, does the world know?
