Massacre

Why?

Why kill my child?

My precious child?

My beloved child?

My heart was torn from my chest,

When I heard the news.

I just sent my child to the school,

I hope nothing happened to my child.

I wanted to rush to the school,

To get my child to safety.

I wanted to make sure,

My child will be in safety.

My heart in my throat,

Worried sick for my chld.

I'm shaking to my core,

Worried sick for my child.

Please, Lord,

Please, please, Lord,

Please, keep my child safe.

Please, Lord, keep my child safe.

The news said, some were killed.

Tears keep falling from my eyes.

No news of who are killed,

No news of who are safe.

Lord, Lord, my child.

Please, keep my child safe.

Heart pounding so loud,

I want to hear the voice of my child.

Where, where is my child,

Where is my child I just sent to school.

Where where is my child,

I thought, my child is safe in school.
