The eyes of the young that will never grow old
Stories of their souls left untold;
A gift so innocent, so young, so true
A nation of mourners heartbroken, confused;
The loss of a life brings ageless pain
But to lose a child leaves an endless stain;
Every mother, father, sister or brother
Knows the ache of losing another;
We don't understand and won't pretend to
We only ask for a little comfort just to get thru;
No one knows why we face such violent acts
I'm not even sure that's the question we need to ask;
Let's just gather together as we have many times before
Let's shower the families that will hurt for evermore;
Let us do what America does best
Join together when our faith is at its test;
I don't care what spiritual being gives you life
Just pray an end to this misery and strife;
We are all of someone and we all know love
We are all tested and we must all overcome;
We are imperfect and yes we often fail
But we are Americans and we shall prevail;
We often fight each other on our own land
But we, Americans, together we stand;
Shaken to the core and yes, we cry today
But we, Americans, will see another day;
Sandy Hook, we care, we cry, we feel your pain
We pray, we love, and we hurt the same;
You can't see us, but we mourn with you
Your angels are our angels, they'll carry us all through.
