Trisha Hongcharti 4th Period Ms. Turner THE SEASON FOREVER CHANGED (WERE ALL HOKIES TODAY) Lyrics On just an ordinary day, A weapon drawn, and lives forever changed One act of violence _made the world stop and watch As on a drillfield by candlelight we prayed With questions on our minds, we wonder where the future lies So we look up to heaven with hope in our eyes Where do we go from here Can we overcome this fear And find a healing for the pain, and see the sun beyond the rain Weve got the strength to endure, And soon well feel more secure In a world filled with hate, weve got to become something great Oh God, send your mercy this way, for were all Hokies today Verse 2: And to the ones who fell that day In our hearts your love will never fade away Were picking up the pieces to build a better tomorrow Well find a joy, yes, to move on from the sorrow By the color of the leaves, you know God has us on his mind So we look up to heaven with hope in our eyes Where do we go from here Can we overcome this fear And find a healing for the pain, and see the sun beyond the rain Weve got the strength to endure, And soon well feel more secure In a world full of hate, weve got to become something great Oh God, send your mercy this way, for were all Hokies today The spirit lives on, dont let it be gone, let it shine forever And through the heartbreak, for the lost and their sakes, let it bring us together Where do we go from here Can we overcome this fear And find a healing for the pain, and see the sun beyond the rain Weve got the strength to endure, And soon well feel more secure In a world full of hate, weve got to become something great Oh God, send your mercy this way, for were all Hokies today Works Cited Parks, Kurtis, et al. “The Season.“ MySpace.

Back to lyrics Learn about who these victims were before they were victims Candlelight Vigil Thousands of people gathered after sunset around 8:oo PM, on the campus drill field for the candlelight vigil on April 17, 2007. This was held in memory of the 32 lives lost in the Virginia Tech massacre. As each victims name was called, a candle was lit. Thousands of candles were held by the attendees as they mourned for the lost. Music was played and speeches were made. To commemorate and end the memorial, the bell was sounded 32 times. Though the ceremony was “over”, they never stopped praying, but simply raised their candles higher. As a single voice called out “Lets go” thousands of voices returned with “Hokies!” (McConnell).
