Moment of Silence
In this moment of silence
my thoughts goes to you
All this devastating violence
color my world in blue
How I wish I could embrace you
Comfort you in my arms
Take you away from this terror
The dust and screams and alarms
A whole world is crying
of sorrow, sympathy and pain
Our children are dying
and I am fighting this mental strain
But always remember
the Candles that we lighted
How they bring us all together
Forever and ever united.

A Tear For The Human Race
My heart is filled with grief
God, don't let me lose my belief
My belief in love and happiness so pure
The only threat against the obscure
Give me strength to comprehend
Knowledge to understand
Why all these souls had to be taken
Without your escort I would have forsaken
forsaken my belief in a new tomorrow
A day far from all this sorrow
Each tear that trickles down my face,
is a tear for the entire human race
