Well it was 15 years ago but it could be 20 or more
And I wouldn't forget about the folks that day
I still tear up when I think about it
All those bright lives lost for
Lost for nothing better than a madman's crazy ideas
And as we look back what do we say
We only have one answer today
And it's easy and it's for the friends and the family we pray
Let the healing begin
Let the healing go on
Let the healing be there for all
All who need a friend
All who need God's hand
Well I heard everybody say and it was in the news today
But we see too much of it, too much of it to turn away
I still tear up as I think about it
All those young lives lost for
Lost for nothing better than a high that never stays
And as we look at it what do we say
We only have one answer today
And it's easy and it's for these young lives we pray
Well my best friend came to say his wife was diagnosed today
And I'll never forget the look in his eyes of grey
I still tear up as I think about it
All those good lives lost for
Lost for nothing better than a cure that hasn't been made
And as we look at it what do we say
We only have one answer today
And it's easy and it's for these good lives we pray
