April 19th

On April 19th the blast ripped through the air
and Oklahoma City had its most traumatic scare
everyone pulled together to help on another
doing everything they could for themselves and each other
regular citizens became heros in the blink of an eye
but everyone wondered why so many had to die
all of his love came from an act of pure hate
as everyone around the world prayed for our state
horror-stricken families stayed glued to thier TV's
praying their loved ones were alive and waiting to see
for their children's lost lives everyone shed tears
as the reality struck of every mother's fear
the injustice of this tragedy was so immensely great
from innoncent lives lost in an act of hate
everyone just wanted to know why
they wanted to know the reason their family and friends had to die
