Their ears receive the cry of “Never Again”
A lesson for eager young minds to discern
The sound of laughter fills hearts pure of sin
With hope and goodwill their noblest concern
But the news reports a troublesome tale
Of mass crimes filled with horror and despair
The pain and destruction, too close, too real
As hearts grow cold, and hope gives way to fear
No longer bound by the ignorance of youth
Aware of lies, and the mass delusions
The evidence too stark to hide the truth
Setting aside the common illusions
It's not who we are, it's not what we know
Stand up, speak out, for silence is the foe
