This was done by Ann Sabra and is available for download on her webpage visit her MP3 page at:http://www.mp3.com/annsabra visit her web page at:http://annsabra.com The song was brought to my attention by Dano who represents Ann Sabra. Here is what he said about it: I represent Ann Sabra, a local Denver artist who just recently finished a dedication song for the Columbine Tragedy. This song is being marketed both nationally and internationally as an attempt to help heal the loss due to senseless violence. lyrics for "One More Chance": I lost my heart today The day you went away And I wish I could explain how I feel You were my everything The simple joy you'd bring You were my angel with golden wings All the times we've shared The joy and the sorrow Will remain forever in my heart I celebrate you I love you I want the world to share My sadness without you Give me one more chance To say goodbye I pray the world will stand Join together hand in hand And forget the differences we share I need to let you know I'll never let you go Even if I never understand All the times ahead I'll be strong for tomorrow Your memory forever in my soul I celebrate you I love you I want the world to share My sadness without you Give me one more chance To say goodbye Oh, I need you to know What you've done for me What you've shown to me What you've meant to me Give me one more chance I celebrate you I love you I want the world to share My sadness without you Give me one more chance To say goodbye (c)Ann Sabra |

I let them slip away from us when things got bad now clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one I will remember you will you remember me? don't let your life pass you by weep not for the memories I'm so tired but I can't sleep standin' on the edge of something much too deep it's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word we are screaming inside, but we can't be heard but I will remember you will you remember me? don't let your life pass you by weep not for the memories I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose once there was a darkness, deep and endless night you gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light and I will remember you will you remember me? don't let your life pass you by weep not for the memories and I will remember you will you remember me? don't let your life pass you by weep not for the memories weep not for the memories (c) Sarah Mclachlan |
| Blowin' Me Away |
|---|
|
This song was brought to my attention by Barbara Brown, who works with the band SLO. The song was written as a result of the shooting at Columbine. This is not a 'memorial song', but instead takes a different perspective as she explains: "Instead of quiet memorial to the victims it poses tough questions to the shooters. It takes a basic, down to earth look at the shooters and really tries to get into their heads." for more info on the band and how to get this song, visit their web page at: http://www.slomusic.com Lyrics for "Blowin' Me Away": Blowin’ Me Away Once again they’re all crying On the TV screen Like something you never seen The cops and cameras Catch the kids at the scene They put it out like a bad dream The little swastikas Done no one no good You oughta look in your history books Now you coulda been perfect you know Ripe for the Gestapo Chorus: Blowin’ me away What’s that sound in your head Is it all you can hear? Is it something that I said? Blowin’ me away It’s OK from here You won’t take it away And you’re blowin’ me away It don’t take long they’re playin’ King on the hill Giving their buddies a cheap thrill The little Hitlers come in guns to the hilt Looking for anything to kill Refrain Repeat chorus Blowin’ me away What’s that sound? Blowin’ me away What’s that sound? (words and music by Eddy Fry) (c) 1999 SLO |
| Love's The Only House |

|
by: Martina McBride
This was done after the Columbine tragedy for those affected by the pain caused by it. lyrics for "Love's The Only House": I was standing in the grocery store line The one they marked express When this woman came through with about 25 things And I said don't you know that more is less She said this world is moving so fast But I just get more behind with every day And every morning when I make my coffee I can't believe my life's turned out this way All I could say was Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough for all the pain He was walking by the other day and I said Hey baby how you been? Yeah I got me a little girl now and she's 4 years old And she's got her daddy's little grin And you only want what you can't have And baby you can't have me now I gave my heart to another Yeah I'm a mother and he's a father And we've got each other And I found out the hard way that Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough for all the pain You drive three miles from all this prosperity Down across the river and you see a ghetto there And we got children walking around with guns And they got knives with drugs and pain to spare And here I am in my clean, white shirt With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home And we got teenagers walkin' around in a culture of darkness Livin' together alone, and all I can Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough for all the pain And I can't explain it and I can't understand But I'll come down and get my hands dirty and together we'll make a stand Somewhere cross the parking lot some bands playin' out of tune City streets are gonna burn if we don't do something soon And senorita can't quit cryin, baby's due now any day Don Juan left, got sick of tryin' No one there to show him the way she came down to the grocery store and She said I, I wanna buy a little carton of milk but I don't have any money I said hey I'll cover you honey cause the pain's gotta go somewhere Yeah the pain's gotta go someplace So come on down to my house Don't you know that Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough for all the pain (c) 2000 Martina McBride |

| I Never Will Forget |

By: Shades I found out about this song from Tyler, a member of the band The song was written in memory of the victims of Columbine High School. A portion of the bands earnings will be donated to the Columbine Connections community center. Visit Shades' web page at:http://www.angelfire.com/mo2/shades Lyrics For "I Never Will Forget": [various news clips] I never will forget What I heard that day The way they all died, What a price to pay A careless act of war on innocent lives Caught in the rage Of images and lies When does one becomes so empty? To take another life And their love has gone away... We must reach out to our children And learn from Yesterday When does one becomes so empty? To take another life And their love has gone away... We must reach out to our children And learn from Yesterday Should we bear the blame? Is this our shame Lives that were lost Through the blood and the pain And though you're not here anymore We all must go on May we learn from the price you paid And put an end to these wrongs When does one becomes so empty? To take another life And their love has gone away... We must reach out to our children And learn from Yesterday When does one becomes so empty? To take another life And their love has gone away... We must reach out to our children And learn from Yesterday I Never Never Never Will Forget I Never Will Forget (c) 1999 Shades |

By: The eRnieS This song was originally named 'NoFX', but was renamed to 'What I Had To See' on their new album. Note: Due to the original song name of 'NoFX', this song has been mistakenly posted on the net as being by the group 'NoFX'... in reality it was made by 'The eRnieS' - A German Punkrock band. Thanks to: Waldi (of The eRnieS) for the info on it! Lyrics: When i came home today I turned on my tv And it made me really shocked What I had to see I saw a lot of children die I saw how their mothers cried Well I saw all the pain And I nearly gone insane When i came home today I turned on my tv And it made me really shocked What I had to see I saw the soldiers march so proud For their fatherland I saw a little boy With a gun in his hand So look around you What the world has to offer So look around you How we have to suffer When i came home today I turned on my tv And it made me really shocked What I had to see (c) eRnieS Visit the band's website at: http://www.the-ernies.de |
| Its Your Time |

|
By: Micheal W. Smith Here's what mr. Smith said about the song: "'This Is Your Time' is an important record to me personally," "I wrote the title cut after participating in the memorial service for Columbine High School students in Littleton, Colorado. The song was inspired by Cassie Bernall, the student who said she believed in God and lost her life for it. It was her time, and now I believe it's our time to pick up the torch and live our faith boldly." Lyrics: (lyrics not known) (c) Micheal W. Smith |
| The Kinslayer |
|---|
|
By: Nightwish The song was brought to my attention a visitor to my page... here's what they said about it: hello i was on your website about columbine , it's really interesting . The most complete i've ever seen . But i just wanted to tell you , you forgot that Nightwish also made a song about Columbine , it's called "The Kinslayer" ... A 2nd visitor was able to provide the following: Hi When I was searching for the song Nightwish - The Kinslayer I came across your website. It's one of my favorite songs and when listening to the lyrics I got the feeling it was about some event. So I did some research and found out it was about the Columbine High School shooting. I did some more research to what the lyrics mean exactly and because of that I like the song even more. I saw you didnt have the lyrics on your site, so here they are (below). The last 4 lines arent actually part of the song, but they are always printed with the lyrics. I found a very nice explaination of the lyrics on this site (its currently down, but I'm sure it'll be back soon): http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=37963 Best regards, Jarno Lyrics: For whom the gun tolls For whom the prey weeps Bow before a war Call it religion Some wounds never heal Some tears never will Dry for the unkind Cry for mankind Even the dead cry - Their only comfort Kill your friend, I don't care Orchid kids, blinded stare Need to understand No need to forgive No truth no sense left to be followed "Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend" "Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!" "In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way" "Your praying is in vain It`ll all be over soon" "Father help me, save me a place by your side!" "There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves" "Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones" "Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain, Lust for fame, a deadly game" "Run away with your impeccable kin!" "- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..." Cursing, God, why? Falling for every lie Survivors' guilt In us forevermore 15 candles Redeemers of this world Dwell in hypocrisy: "How were we supposed to know?" -4 pink ones -9 blue ones -2 black ones - In memory of the Redeemers 20.4.1999 (c) Nightwish |

By: Flyleaf The song was brought to my attention a visitor to my page... here's what he said about it: Hey, While listening to the music of band I had just heard, I read the lyrics and it sounded like what happened at Columbine. I checked it out and sure enough the title of the song was "Cassie." I didnt know if she was the girl who was asked if she believed in god before she was shot. I found your site and seen the info on Cassie Bernall and noticed that you had listed songs related to her situation. I was wondering if possibly you wanted to post this song as one of them. The bands name is "Flyleaf", the title of the song is "Cassie." I dont know the bands official site but I do frequent their fan site at www.flyleaffans.com. ... another visitor to this page provided the following info & the lyrics!: There is a new song out, that I believe is about Cassie Bernall. The first song on the CD is starting to get play on Octane ( Sirrus satellite radio) It is called Cassie by Flyleaf. Thanks, Steve Minnesota Lyrics: The question asked in order To save her life or take it The answer no to avoid death The answer yes would make it Do you believe in God Written on the bullet Say yes to pull the trigger Do you believe in God Written on the bullet And Cassie pulled the trigger All heads are bowed in silence To remember her last sentence She answered him knowing what would happen Her last words still hanging in the air In the air Do you believe in God Written on the bullet Say yes to pull the trigger Do you believe in God Written on the bullet And Cassie pulled the trigger How many will die I will die I, I will say yes Do you believe in God Written on the bullet Say yes to pull the trigger Do you believe in God Written on the bullet And Cassie pulled the trigger Do you believe in God Do you believe in God Do you believe in God And I will pull the trigger (c) Flyleaf |

By: Nell Bradford The song was brought to my attention by its artist!... here's what she said about it: Hello, my name is: Mrs. Nell Bradford and I am a wife & mother of our autistic son,whom I home school. The day that I heard about the shooting; I got chills down my spine and I turned to God for prayer. God gave me a song that day titled: "Can We Lay Down The Guns? My prayers go out to you and all the families of Columbine High School and may the Lord heal you all and turn you sadness into joy. Please pass my email and website over to the families, I would love to hear from them and I hope you all enjoy the song. When and if you visit my website, you will hear the song playing continually. I dedicate this song to young people,all over the world, who carry guns and maybe they will have a change of heart, when they hear it, and maybe they will ask Jesus for forgiveness; and he will teach them to lay down their guns. Peace be to you and all the families that suffered a lost that day.

| What Kind Of Love |
|---|
|
By: Ajalon Randy from the band let me know about this one... It was directly inspired by the shootings. Visit the band's website at: http://www.ajalon.net/music.htm Lyrics: What Kind Of Love What kind of war are we fighting What kind of fools are we thought When will the fighting be over What is the reason we fought Why have we forsaken our brothers What reason can show we were right What kind of man can justify slaughter in the face of our children. Why have we decided to lay down in the face of confusion, to walk in the darkness, run away from the Light when a lame man with the Love of his Saviour can rise up and walk into Eternity’s Light Rise up! What kind of Love can set us free What kind of Love... What kind of Love can lead a world into Eternity What kind of Love can lead a world into Eternity What kind of Love can change a world in the depths of derision to a Kingdom of Life What kind of Love... What kind of life are we living in the shadow of certian demise When will our suffering be broken When will the wrongs be made right Why have we chosen to shelter ourselves in the house our sin When will we fall on our face in repentance and open our eyes, why have we decided to lay down in the face of confusion, to walk in the darkness, run away from the Light when a lame man with the Love of his Saviour can rise up and walk into Eternity’s Light Rise up! What kind of Love can set us free What kind of Love... What kind of Love can lead a world into Eternity What kind of Love can lead a world into Eternity What kind of Love can change a world in the depths of derision to a Kingdom of Life What kind of Love... Why have we decided to... lay down in the face of confusion, to walk in the darkness, run away from the Light when a lame man with the Love of his Saviour can rise up and walk into Eternity’s Light Rise up! What kind of Love can set us free What kind of Love... What kind of Love can lead a world into Eternity What kind of Love can lead a world into Eternity What kind of Love can change a world in the depths of derision to a Kingdom of Life What kind of Love...
