I hold the world in my arms,
Placing it against my broken heart,
for I see tears,
On this darkest day.

Innocent lives lost,
On this cowardly act of terror,
for I see pain,
On this darkest day.

Arms reach out,
People stand together, as one,
for I see courage,
On this darkest day.

The world unites,
Support from different walks of life,
for I see strenght,
On this darkest day.

What will happen next?
So much hatred, the world at war,
for I see fear,
On this darkest day.
