April 16,2007 (A College Massacre)

I saw the people crying Their eyes red from tears I could also hear In their voices their fears They're trying to understand Something that cannot be explained They're trying hard to cope with The heartache and the pain They want to understand Why people do what they do They want to understand How such hate in some can brew How could anyone Do what he's done They wonder how so much hate Can live inside anyone Yesterday these people Were strangers to each other Some will now become very close Like that of a sister or brother Yesterday these people Didn't know the others existed Yesterday these people Had children who were gifted But today they stand together Sharing hurt and tears Knowing that their children Will never hear graduation cheers Yes, today they are assembled In a church to say goodbye Hoping that no other parents Have to see their children die
