Together We Shall Mourn

Together we shall mourn
For every child lost
Denied the right to live
Together we shall mourn
For the blood that spills
From their innocent wrists
Together we shall mourn
For the food forced up their throats
Together we shall mourn
As they are slaughtered like goats
Bound around the neck by a rope
And led to the slaughterhouse, early death
Because of a cruel word, a hateful stare
Calling for help, seeking safety
Left alone as they take a last breath
Together we shall mourn
As the nation looks on
Together we shall mourn
As their memories live on
Together we shall mourn
as the hate grows and spreads
together we shall mourn
because they should not be dead
