I am crying for you, oh city of Pittsburgh

I am crying for you, oh city of Pittsburgh
A litany of deep sighing has started to emerge
A gunman with hatred has darkened this day
Robbing the Most Sacred with his heartless display

What callousness of heart what coldness of mind
Has motivated this frenzy: this hatred we find
A gathering of faithful, all desirous to adore
Lost all momentum when.... evil entered the  door

I am crying for you, oh city of Pittsburgh
A litany of sighs is starting to emerge
A gunman with hatred has darkened this day
Robbing the Sacred with his heartless display

The cults of the cowards are starting to rise
And thus we see tear drops emerge from the skies
The prejudices, hatreds, and political schemes
Are fueling these rampages that make for bad dreams

I am crying for you, oh city of Pittsburgh
A litany of sighs is starting to emerge
A gunman with hatred has darkened this day
Robbing the Sacred with his heartless display

Tomorrow will be like no other you'll know
For someone will be missing from the places you'd go
Though different we're united and it'll always be true
We're bound up together beneath "The Red, White and Blue"

I am crying for you, oh city of Pittsburgh
A litany of sighs is starting to emerge
A gunman with hatred has darkened this day
Robbing the Sacred with his heartless display
