Be Strong
That was a bright day on October 1st going to see the festival
A dark night sparked by bullets made it to unbearable
Shots were fired up high by an unseen perp
There are so many shots for someone not to be hurt
The civilians gave time to transport to those in need
We Salute You, We Thank You our heroes indeed
Security and First Responders not enough thank yous in the world
But one more thank you from us to you can not hurt at all
My heart was crushed to hear the news that day
Innocent people dying at Mandalay Bay
A moment of silence-------for the 59
That are laid to rest and left families behind
The tears and the pain and they scream so loud
The frustration is building and I want to shout
I am at a lost for words but we must breathe
To exhale the pain, as our hearts continually bleed
A moment of silence-------for those whose life was changed
After that day on October 1st life will never be the same
The smoke is clear and our pain is still here
We stand Vegas Strong, then and now with no fear
We have cried, We will share, then We will Unite
At times like these Vegas Strong can be so bright
