Story Behind The Song
Having been pretty negatively impressed by the spectre of our president standing on the rubble vowing eternal war, I thought I'd mention that there is another way.
Song Description
Instead of seeking revenge, I would prefer to see us look for the path to peace. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that"

Lyrics
In the chasm of our sorrow, let us not forget
We are all believers in a truth stronger than death
Grant us healing for the suffering
Comfort for the comfortless
And let us choose the light that built the dream
To give us peace
In our pain, in our anger, let us still recall
We are each of us a stranger
Still we are kindred all
As we find ourselves in heroes
So we'll also find our flaws
Let us find the strength that we will need
To give us peace.
In the anguish of our losses, let us not despair
While the light of freedom shines, let us choose our course with care.
Let us leave the wheel of vengeance
Forsake the path of fear
Let us choose the road to the true victory
To give us peace.
