We Must Pray

I saw the tragic mass shooting in TX today and came up with this Song. Music being worked on. Now, also news of mass shooting in OH. 2 within 24 hours. My heart it pains So many things My heart it pains When tragedy brings Loss of life Loss of love So many Sent above Chorus So, how do we cure this? With violence all around? How do we unite, With differences abound? Chorus repeat We must pray For peace to be found My heart it pains Many tears cried My heart it feels For strangers in the tide Loss of life Loss of love So many Sent above Chorus So, how do we cure this? With violence all around? How do we unite With differences abound? Chorus repeat We must pray For peace to be found Heidi Sands 8/3/19

'So, how do we cure this? With violence all around? How do we unite When differences abound?' this is so special Heidi. I would love to see a popular singer record this in honor of those beloved lost. I would love to hear this Heidi. Will you please give us the link? An honorable tribute to all involved! Blessings, Connie xxoo

Hi Connie. Thank you very much. I had started working on it, then hadn't been able to finish it and could only get part of it in here with the limit of length required. I have to learn how to 'compress' the song to get the full song in here. I will try to do that. I appreciate your kindness and support! :)

Agree with the sentiments..so sad, but true (another mass shooting followed soon after). First time ever listened to your music..kudos for the multimedia creation, Heidi.

Thank you Vijay. It was a bit rushed and it hard to get in here with limited length. This one has to be re-done at some point. I also think I have to learn to compress it to get full songs in here. I added a more uplifting song to move me poem recently. :)

This write is epic Heidi - this should be sung at the top of mountains, in the valleys and across the world - tragedies anywhere that I hear of or are shown on the media turn my stomach, I feel for days for the ones left behind and the horror of the the dying and the dead! penned awesomely dear friend. Hugs Jennifer.

Heard about this on TV Heidi so tragic. You leave your house and you just don't know if youre coming home that night. A sad world for sure. Tom.

Hi Tom. Yes, and I just now see another mass shooting in Ohio. At least 9 dead, 16 injured. The 2nd in 24 hours. Thank you for your comment.

the sad thing is my poetic friend, nothing will change...too many people are making too much money bending the minds of too many people...
