Three students at my college have died this past year, this is for them...
2009 School year- Death of 3 students
We’ll let the bells toll
Once
Twice
Three times
Once for the little girl
Lost in the flames
A crash of thunder sounds so loud,
Deafening the world
We cry endless tears
Once for a young man
Faded away without a whisper
Our own voices echo his
So that they mean everything
Once for another young man
Free to soar through the clouds
A child new
And lost to us.
We cry our bitter tears
We hold each other together
Family and friends
We clasp hands
And Remember…
We’ll let the bells toll

So that they mean everything
Once for another young man
Free to soar through the clouds
A child new
And lost to us.
We cry our bitter tears
We hold each other together
Family and friends
We clasp hands
And Remember…
