Cry for those who left us that dark day.

Bow your heads, weep angry tears and grieve now.

Pray that time will take the hurt away.

Fathers, mothers, sons and daughters taken…

Senseless acts of hate swept them away.

All our hopes and dreams for them forsaken,

All our hearts so broken that sad day.

But we know…experience has taught us

Freedom isn’t free; we’ve had to pay.

Down through hist’ry evil ones have fought us,

Tried to steal our liberty away.

Once again we’re asked to stand the test now,

Meet the foe and triumph in the fray.

Lift your heads, resolve to do your best now;

Those who fell live on to light the way!
