I could feel my heart was breaking
when I heard the news
then my anger started rising
so I hid behind these blues
so many of our children
lost before their time
in a moment filled with madness
all innocence had died
everybody tries to analyze
every tear that falls from tired eyes
when the whole world cries
My faith in man is shaken
deep inside my soul
my beliefs have been forsaken
still I'm stronger than I know
I can see the parents anguish
their sorrow and their grief
their lives forever taken
by the darkness like a thief
everybody tries to analyze
every tear that falls from tired eyes
when the whole world cries
There are no words that can take away their pain
or ever fill their emptiness inside
so the whole world cries
