Our Darkest Day

[Guest guest]

Our Darkest Day

Somewhere today a child cries

For a Mother who'll never come home

A wife waiting to hear from her mate

Sits shaking by the phone

A sister thinks about words she said

and knows she can't take back

A brother screams out 'Why us God?!'

As dust settles from the attack

In streets usually alive with bustle

Now silence and sirens are all that's heard

Families looking for signs of hope

Just waiting for a word

In the shadows of a tragedy

A nation is mourning from sea to sea

Who could have done such an awful thing?

God, who can this demon be?

So many questions left unanswered

So much pain left to be felt

But as a nation we swear to our dead

That justice will be dealt.

For they may have struck a horrible blow

But they failed to remember one thing

That even in our Darkest Day

The bells of ! Liberty ring
