May 4th, 1970
Linger behind eyelids tightly clenched
The shots, the screams, the anguish
Allison, Sandra, Jeffrey, William
Bullets rip through lives barely begun
"Four dead in O-hi-o"*
Words find no escape, lungs labor for breath
A wave of tears and shock bring us to our knees
A nation's shame plays out before the world
We hold candles, we hold each other, we march
We sing "Give peace a chance"
We mourn, we cry, we rage
We march, we march, we march
*From "Ohio" by Neil Young
