In the quiet hallways, whispers echo still
Of laughter once vibrant, now a silent chill
Sandy Hook's young smiles, lost in shadows deep
Twenty little stars, heaven bound to keep
Parkland's halls cry out, seventeen dreams fell
Promises unkept, under gunfire's spell
Light a candle for the lives, stolen in their spring
Sing a requiem soft, for the pain it brings
Hold the names dear, of the children gone too soon
Beneath the mourning moon, beneath the mourning moon
Columbine's dark day, echoes a fearful cry
Thirteen hearts stopped short, beneath April's sky
Santa Fe whispers, of the ten who lay
Dreams that ended swift, on that tragic day
Voices soft and low, calling for a change
Gentle pleas for peace, in a world so strange
Light a candle for the lives, stolen in their spring
Sing a requiem soft, for the pain it brings
Hold the names dear, of the children gone too soon
Beneath the mourning moon, beneath the mourning moon
In the tears of mothers, in the fathers' sighs
In the world's long wait, for the sun to rise
Hear the quiet plea, through the heartache's hold
For a change to come, for a future bold
Look to tomorrow, let it not be grey
Lift your voices high, don't let hope decay
From Aurora's sorrow, to the lives still lost
Time to shape a path, no matter the cost
For the children's sake, let's rewrite the tale
With love as the ink, and peace as the veil
Light a candle for the lives, stolen in their spring
Sing a requiem soft, for the pain it brings
Hold the names dear, of the children gone too soon
Beneath the mourning moon, beneath the mourning moon
In every shadowed night, may we find the light
Turn our grief to fight, for what is just and right
May their memories inspire, a world reformed anew
A place of peace, where love and hope break through
