Can You Hear The Voices

Can you hear the voices

Voices from the pond

All those lost that tragic day

Telling us to carry on

Can you hear the voices

From a realm of boundless love

Urging us to lay down hate

And turn to God above

Can you hear the voices

Comforting the young

From the two reflecting pools

Where an awful deed was done

Can you hear the voices

Calling for who we were

So many years ago this day

When to our God we turned

Can you hear the voices

Over what our nation lost

We cried out for security

But liberty was the cost

Or do you hear the voices

Of cowardly ones of hate

I pray that we listen wisely

Before it is too late
