On a picture perfect afternoon
So sunny and warm it felt like June
Through the crowd darkness loomed
We never knew their hate and pain
But still struggle with what remains
It twists our gut and racks our brains
It’s hard to wash away the stains
For on this warm and sunny day
Precious lives were taken away
Though the shock made us lose our breath
And appreciate all that we have
An inferno was building deep inside
So hot the enemy had to hide
They swept across the entire land
Hand in hand they made a stand
Together like a shield of blue
Their numbers grew and grew and grew
With nowhere to hide and nowhere to run
They attacked with explosives their car and their guns
All night long they kept it up
Until the boys in blue had had enough
They surrounded the one who still had breath
Then hell broke loose and put him cuffs
Now we pray for the families left behind
For the Lord to ease their troubled mind
Take away their pain and sting
And Lord please, ease their suffering.
