Today a world weeps At a loss of life I have to ask why Why **** the children Why **** the teachers So near to Christmas Please cry with me We lost the future Maybe a cure for cancer Maybe a leader of peace Or an inventor of Time All now taken away By a madmans gun Children are a new generation To create a new, a better world Young lives yet to learn, to begin This Christmas as we celebrate Families will mourn their loss Life should be cherished So let us send prayers Because all around this world All religions and all people Cry with you on this day
