Forever Changed (we're all Hokies Today)
Kurtis Parks. Josh Kim. 4.18.07
On just an ordinary day,
A weapon drawn, and lives forever changed
One act of violence made the world stop and watch
And on a drillfield by candlelight we prayed
And with questions on our minds, we wonder where the future lies
As we look up to heaven with hope in our eyes
Where do we go from here
Can we overcome this fear
And find a healing for the pain, and see the sun beyond the rain
We've got the strength to endure,
And soon we'll feel more secure
In a world filled with hate, we need to become something great
Oh God, send your mercy this way, for we're all Hokies today
Verse 2:
And to the ones who fell that day
In our hearts your love will never fade away
We're picking up the pieces to build a better tomorrow
We'll find a joy, to move on from the sorrow
By the color of the leaves, you know He has us on his mind
So we look up to heaven with hope in our eyes
Where do we go from here
Can we overcome this fear
And find a healing for the pain, and see the sun behind the rain
We've got the strength to endure,
And someday we'll feel more secure
In a world full of hate, we need to become something great
Oh God, send your mercy this way, cuz we're all Hokies today
The spirit lives on, don't let it be gone, let it shine forever
And through the heartbreak, for the lost and their sakes, let it bring us together
