So... I bet most of you have heard about the terrorist attack that happened on May 22nd in Manchester, England.

I was quite shocked by the news, because the targets were children. Children! My age! Your age! Something like that is truly horrible.

So, to pay my respects, I wrote a song to both dead and alive victims of this gruesome act.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I used to believe there was good in us...
But I feel like I've been hit by a bus.

I see the news with tears of fright,
As I see you lose your light.
I see your cries and screams....
My feelings are bursting at the seams.

I didn't believe the world was so cruel,
But I hoped I wasn't a fool.
I don't want to play this game...
Don't know where to look, who to blame...

I will do everything I can,
But know I am just human.
So...

If I can't find the light to save you,
Take all the love I gave you,
and move on.
Oooh move on.

And even though your'e lying in your own blood,
Pray your last prayer to God, and move on.
Move on.

This sinful world is not for you...
Just look at what you've been through...
And as the lights flicker around you,
You don't know what to.... do.

You came to enjoy the night,
But left full of fright.
Your feet feel like on fire..
Living is your desire...

But how do you come through,
With a crowd scared as much as you?

If I can't find the light to save you,
Take all the love I gave you,
and move on.
Oooh move on.

You're too good for this world,
And yet you left without a word.
And as my head fills with denial,
At home, I stare at your last smile.
