For these lives, who are laid to rest
Who left behind a broken family
I cry
Pushed from the nest, barely flying
Watching each one fall to the ground
and I cry
I cry for the families and their pain
Their faith put into practice, kneeling on the floor with God at their side
She said "Oh no, I will not bow down, you can throw me in the den of lions
you can throw me into the furnace
but you will never take away my God"
and I cry
I cry for the families and their pain
Memorials and flowers, an aching void remains
For the lives that were taken on earth, we are left to grieve
God holds them safe in his arms now
Back home
at our home
Where we all came from and return when we're gone
but I still cry
for the families
I cry
For the lost souls
because of love that came for all
I cry
Lord please forgive them, for they know not what they do
Pass this cup over me and let it pour, let it pour
Let the sacrifice of my body remain sanctified
Take this cup and pour it over me
Let no one else suffer, and die
Bring home the children
who cry themselves to sleep
Bring home the mothers
who now have no sons to keep
Bring home the fathers
who lost their little girls
Take away the grief and show your love God
I will still cry
for the families
for the innocence lost
and I cry
for the friendships now put on hold until they meet again in heaven
I cry
