              <text>Didn’t see it coming, couldn’t read the clues&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
A troubled man who figured he had nothing left to lose&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Sunday evening in the Blue Ridge and everything seemed alright&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
26,000 innocent people settled for the night&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
They came from almost everywhere. They came from all around.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Looking for the dream life in this special little town&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
The campus wakes up unaware that something’s going wrong.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
They wake up to the day they’d never knew would last so long.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Chorus:&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
32 Lives – start the day they thought they’d be with all their friends&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
32 Tried – to do the best they could to see them all again.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
32 Died – with the one who wanted everything to end.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
33 Gone, 33 Gone&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Bridge:&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
And the families are driven to the depths of their despair&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
The press keeps asking questions, but do they really care&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
“Why would you want to stay here? What took so very long?”&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
But hindsight won’t retrieve them and they’ve got the story wrong, so wrong.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Now the small town’s innocence has cruelly gone away.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Lost the peaceful feeling that they had most every day.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
How will we take care of all the loved ones left behind?&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Candles, colors, flowers only last a short, short time.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
And I want to know why did they all have to die&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Yeah, I want to know where and when and how&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
‘Cause I wanna believe that if we can all grieve&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Then we can begin to heal right here and now&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
