Innocence Lost

Innocence Lost

Innocence lost with the flash of a moment

Screams in the shadows of evil unleashed

Where does this madness awaken from

What is the world to do

Innocent victims, children, families 

Left broken, wondering why

How can something so awful  happen 

In one moment... one flash  

Terrifying our young

Their trust is gone

Innocence lost can't be undone. 

Is there still hope in this evil madness

How do we provide a safe place for our children

People stop... think... love... don't hate.

Don't destroy, don't tarnish their innocence

With the battles you fight within your own soul

Leave our children to stay strong and bold

Not hidden in the shadows of evil

Terrified of dying... innocently crying

Make this world a place of comfort

A place of love

A place where our children feel safe.
