Sudden loss of lives
People gone with the wave
Watching the water rise
Many of you no one could save.

Big and small, young and old
Disappeared so suddenly
The words are numb and feel so cold
The tragedy unfolded so violently.

We have lost so many lives
They disappeared with the waves
Why did the water have to rise?
Why are we left with so many graves?

You have gone with the wave,
Children, women and men
Many of you no one could save
Sleep for ever, precious souls, Amen.
