Sandy Hook
You all were taken way to soon
To go and listen to an angel's tune
As you sit and listen to their song
You are not where you belong
You belong with your loved ones
Enjoying the thoughts of days to come
The world stopped on this day
They stopped and started to pray
I am a father, that word has new meaning today
I can't understand why you were taken away
As I sit and try to find a reason
I shed many tears over this act of treason
My heart goes out to the family and friends
Of the souls that met their untimely end
My thoughts and prayers are with you tonight
As you try to find solace in this plight
As to the ones who witnessed this attack
I know it will be a long time to bounce back
My thoughts and prayers are with you too
My family and I will pray for you.
Lord take care of these souls
Let them succeed in their new roles
Lord hear my prayer
Lord hear everybody's prayer
