Humbolt Tragedy
Their game was over and they got on the bus
With the usual teenage chatter and fuss.
Driving down the highway with never a care
Not a one saw the angels riding there.
Fifteen angels were collecting souls
Much as these hockey players collected goals
Fifteen angels more to protect the ones
Whose time down here still wasn’t done.
Canada mourns the loss of these young men
Their families are grieving for these young men.
Those of us left don't know what to say
So we fall to our knees and humbly we pray.
We pray for healing for the families who mourn
We pray that you see the rose in the thorns.
This loss is not yours all alone to bear
We’re here as a country to show you we care.
Those kids, when they passed were never alone
God sent down his angels to take them home.
Prayers for Humbolt
