Columbine "99"

One day in April "99"
Everything was going fine
Kids were laughing, talking, having fun
Till Eric and Dillon brought their guns

Eric and Dillon were filled with rage
Just like animals in a cage
They'd been involoved in lots of strife
Today they would kill, then take their lives

They picked off students one by one
Into the hallways they would run
The students ran for cover as the shots rang out
They didnt know what it was all about

As kids ran by, one by one
Eric and Dillon shot their guns
Eric and Dillon didn't care who they shot
They killed a Christian named Rachel Scott

Thirteen people died that day
Some didn't even have time to pray
When prayer was taken out of schools
It made kids free to break the rules

How many more people must lose their lives
Due to rejection, due to strife
It seems so hard to figure it out
Why no one heard their shout

So much rejection ruled their lives
The only way out was to kill and die
I pray for the families of those slain
Their deaths will never be in vain

Let's do something to spread the word
Pay attention, let their voices be heard
So stand united, one and all
Instead of defeat, have a Victory Call

Let's put prayer back in schools
don't sit back and just be fools
Save our children, we must shout
We need to know what they're all about
