How could this be?
How could this be?
This is America!
Land of the free!

When will it end?
When will it end?
The hatred so deep
Killing so many friends.

Will there be more?
Will there be more?
All of us shaken
So deep - to the core.

Where can we hide?
Where can we hide?
To find safety and peace
From the terrorists' tide.

We ask …why? We must pray.
We ask …why? We must pray.
Lift up our eyes to the One
On whom our faith is stayed.

He is in control
He is in control!
Only He, in such tragedy,
Can comfort our souls.

Psalms 37:9 - "For evildoers shall be cut off: but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth."
