Requiem For the Singers

Katelyn Lepore

Age 12

 

In fire and ash a song has died

The world is left to wonder why

The notes were ripped right off the page

All in a desperate act of rage

Voices silenced in mid-song

A symphony lost in a world gone wrong

 

Stunned and saddened our loss is great

Yet we must not give our hearts to hate

Each to another we hold out a hand

Lifting ourselves up as a united land

Inspired by bravery we stand ever strong

Each remembering pieces of the lost song

 

The melody is changed but the music goes on

Our hopes and freedom will never be gone

The rhythm runs through each and every soul

Perfect harmony is the ultimate goal

As we perform together in peace and love

We pray to the singers to guide us from above.
