Sometimes the world we live in is uncertain In a moment what's known can slip away And we feel as we walk among the ruin Our hopes dwindle as we greet the coming day

Faces full of tears, such pain and desperation You can almost feel it blowing in the air Clouds billowing, a cold and sad reminder Of what stood, but is no longer there

Hands outreaching to soothe the broken-hearted We can't see beyond the tears for the lost souls Terror's wrath forever etched inside our hearts now We question if we ever will feel whole

And then I heard a baby's cry among the ruin As I thought about that tiny, gentle life My heart told me that we could not let this wee one Grow up in a world of terror, fear and strife

So we must gather 'round the waterfall of our tears And hold each other's hearts within our own The children of tomorrow must feel safe here For there still is no place dearer than our home

In this great country they will never walk alone

We will dig our way through acts of pure destruction Eyes full of tears but heads held high with pride And though tomorrow seems like it will take forever The sun will rise on this great country - freedom shines

When I lay my weary head upon my pillow And pray to God to help us as we grieve I have to know within my heart that we'll recover If I don't, what are the young ones to believe?

And then I heard a baby's cry among the ruin As I thought about that tiny, gentle life My heart told me that we could not let this wee one Grow up in a world of terror, fear and strife

So we must gather 'round the waterfall of our tears And hold each other's hearts within our own. The children of tomorrow must feel safe here For there still is no place dearer than our home.

In this great country they will never walk alone
