We lost brothers and sisters, daughters and sons
Friends and classmates in a senseless act
Students and teachers whose lives were cut short
Forever leaving a devastating impact.
 
Families are grieving, hearts have been broken
As we mourn the lives of those we loved
Through heartache and tears we ask questions why
While lifting our arms in prayer to God above.
 

Their lives were cut short, but the memories remain

And we'll cherish them all and hold them close to our heart

We will remember their smiles and remember their laugh

As we face the years ahead that we are apart.

We must celebrate their lives and the loved we shared
For we know they are embraced in God's loving arms
He has given them peace in His heavens above
Where they will always be safe and away from all harm.

He will send us the same peace for the ache in our soul
And for the anguished loss that we all feel 
Our lives will go on; our sorrow will pass on
And somewhere in time our broken hearts will be healed.
