THERE'S A HOLE IN THE SKYLINE
THERE'S A HOLE IN OUR HEARTS

SOMETHING MISSING THAT CAN NEVER
QUITE BE FILLED

SOMETHING PRECIOUS GONE FROM OUR SIGHT
BUT NOT OUR MINDS

MEMORY WILL KEEP ALIVE
THAT WHICH WE CAN NEVER TOUCH AGAIN

THERE IS A CAVITY
ON THE FACE OF OUR COMMUNITY

CRAFTSMEN AND ARTISANS WILL FILL THAT VOID
WITH SOMETHING NEW

HOPE FOR OUR FUTURE
THROUGH OUR GRIEF AND LOSS

THE VOID WILL ALWAYS BE THERE
THE PAIN ALWAYS WITH US

SPIRIT WILL FOR EVER SERVE
TO BRING US LIGHT AND LIFE

THOUGH WE CAN NOT BRING BACK
THAT WHICH ONCE FILLED THE EMPTINESS

THIS COUNTRY WILL
SMILE AGAIN
