This Is Our Song

 by: amica paige

Just because you’re caught
Doesn’t make things right
The people are hurt,
the children are dead
When you pulled that trigger
and lit that cooker.


Just because you’re dead
Doesn’t make things fine
Those who remained—a part of them died
When you pulled that trigger
and lit that cooker.


But because you‘re caught
There’s one less dirt
No one gets hurt,
no child will die...
until one of your kind
looses his mind...

And because you’re dead
There’s one less scum
Nobody gets hurt,
no child will die
Until one of your kind
looses his mind...


And because we’re here
All of US hear
The havoc you man,
the destruction we see
Yet for life,
we stand.



For Boston, we stand. For Newtown, we stand. For New York we stand.
For the children, we stand. For the women, we stand.
For the voiceless, the helpless, and the blood of the innocent, we stand.
Because despite all our differences, we stand. For life.

This is our song. Though our bodies may fail, our spirits prevail.
Life overcomes evil.
