We are Virginia Tech<br> | |||
We are sad today<br> | |||
And we will be sad for quite a while<br> | |||
We are NOT moving on<br> | |||
We are embracing our mourning<br> | |||
We are Virginia Tech<br> | |||
We are strong enough to stand tall tirelessly<br> | |||
We are brave enough to bend to cry, and sad enough to know<br> | |||
We must laugh again<br> | |||
We are Virginia Tech<br> | |||
We do not understand this tragedy<br> | |||
We know we did nothing deserve it<br> | |||
But neither does the child in Africa, dying of AIDS<br> | |||
Neither do the invisible children, walking the night away to avoid being captured by rogue army<br> | |||
Neither does the baby elephant, watching his community be devastated for ivory<br> | |||
Neither does the Mexican child looking for fresh water<br> | |||
Neither does the Appalachian child, killed in his own crib, in the home his father built with his own hands, being<br> run over by a boulder because the land was destabilized<br> | |||
No one deserves a tragedy<br> | |||
We are Virginia Tech<br> | |||
The Hokie nation embraces our own and reaches out with open heart and hands to those that offer their hearts and minds<br> | |||
We are strong and brave and innocent and unafraid,<br> | |||
We are better than we think and not quite what we want to be<br> | |||
We are live to the imagination<br> | |||
And the possibility we will continue to invent the future<br> | |||
Through our blood and tears<br> | |||
Through all this sadness<br> | |||
We are the Hokies<br> | |||
We will prevail<br> | |||
We will prevail<br> | |||
We will prevail<br><br><br> | |||
