This is for those who lived and those who died,
For those who hoped and those who cried.
For those who were only ever a number,
For those who are now in an eternal slumber.

This is for those who tried to fight,
For those who never slept at night.
For those who never made it through,
For those who were just like me and you.

This is for the orphans without a home,
For those who always felt alone.
For the parents who watched their children burn,
For those who prayed the world would learn.

This is for the innocent who were naive,
For the ignorant who didn’t want to believe.
For the homeless who had nowhere to go,
For those who felt they were below.

This is for those who lost their rights,
For those who fell from great heights.
For those who suffered unforgettable pain,
For those who’ll never believe again.

This is for those who lived and those who died,
For those who hoped and those who cried.
The whole world now lives in regret,
But rest in peace, for we’ll never forget.
