This is going out to all of the families, friends and faculty of Virginia Tech as they courageously return to school this week and struggle to cope with the emotional aftermath of this devastating massacre.









Virginia's Tears

words and music by Dr BLT (c) 2007

today

we cry Virginia's tears

today

we feel Virginia's fears

we're...

cryin'

cryin'

cryin'

cryin'

cryin'

Virginia's tears

today

we hold Virginia's hand

today

all across the land

we're

cryin'

cryin'

cryin'

cryin'

cryin'

Virginia's tears

what will it take

to ease the pain

what will it take

to stop the rain

what will it take

to ease the violence today

today

we cry Virginia's tears

today

we feel Virginia's fears

today

today

today

 

I wrote this song on the day of the Virginia Tech massacre.  It is intended as a musical snapshot of the events of that day, and the emotional impact of that event on VT students and on the rest of the world.


Today in Virginia

Dr BLT

Words and music by Dr BLT © 2007

 

today in Virginia

students gather in fear

today in Virginia

students drown in their tears

today in Virginia

as they gather their dead

and they mourn, Lord, they mourn

for the blood that was shed

today in Virginia

 

has the world gone mad

has the world gone mad

has the world gone mad

today in Virginia

 

today in Virginia

I see bullets and blood

I see families in need

Of some comfort and love

I see loved ones who grieve

‘cause they died far too young

From a mad man standin’

In the back of a gun

Today in Virginia

 

has the world gone mad

has the world gone mad

has the world gone mad

today in Virginia

 

say a prayer for your brother

say a prayer for your sister

say a prayer for the people

today…in Virginia
