"We're All Hokies Today"

Posted in Personal

"Forever Changed (We're All Hokies Today)" performed by The Season

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.
The question’s 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’ve got to
become something great.

Oh God send your mercy this way,
For we’re all Hokies today.
 
And to the ones who fell that day
In our hearts your love will never fade away
Picking up the pieces to build a better tomorrow
We’ll find a joy yes to move on from the sorrow
By the colors of the leaves you know God 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 beyond the rain

We’ve got the strength to endure and soon
we’ll feel more secure.

In a world filled with hate we’ve got to
become something great.

Oh God send your mercy this way,
For 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.
 
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’ve got to
become something great.

Oh God send your mercy this way,
For we’re all Hokies today.

About Me

I'm a 34 year old mom from SW VA. These are just my thoughts as I teach my boys (currently 5 and 2) and girl (almost a year). I'm expecting baby #4 in June, 2008. As they grow I'm sure I'll have more to say that's worthwhile.
