I sit back, a silent tear of disbelief
How unfair, I can't believe...
I cry for those caught in grief
I can't stop myself, from imagining those little ones
Expecting another winter day
Always thought there'd be another rising sun
And just like that, a cruel moment past
Their lives cut short
Their futures thrown to the trash
Little children, I cry for you
Who were writing letters to santa
Just this morning. cruel man, how could you?
Did you not see their eyes?
Crying out for your mercy?
Did it not take you by surprise?
When you saw them lying there.
Dead on your hands
Did you even care?
I feel my heart break
As I think of the parents,
So much for them to take
Just from one choice made
I shed a tear
As I think of their smiling faces walking in
Comeplete without a trace of fear
They were so unsuspecting, so beautifully innocent there,
So to them I bow my head
And offer a silent prayer.
