The lives are gone
now taken down
a country collectively
today wears a frown,

the saddness so true
of the tragedy born
in another land
a country torn.

Our hearts gather swiftly
together in sorrow,
praying the families
can bear tomorrow.

These lives so precious,
so closely bound,
to loved ones so tender,
will never be found,

except in the hearts 
of Americans that do
remember the lives,
and remember so true.
