Devastated by life’s heavy blow
You lay there panting on the floor
everything you have known fades away
And you feel the injustice of it all
Pangs of regret burn in your heart
Destiny has placed you on a new path
And you are finding it hard to breathe
As life’s short thread begins to break
Visions of the future disappears
Tears fall out as you try to speak
blood flows out from bullet holes
Even when you try to roll
Pandemonium is all you hear
Bodies falling and shouts of fear
Blinking hard you make a sound
But no one hears as you lie there on the ground
Gunmen say it is a religious war
deluded men on a crusade
And as a Christian what can you say
But forgive ,there is no other way
Are you ready to leave this world?
All you did was come to pray
Maybe the News will widely say
You are finally in a better place
